Sarah Pearson Cooke | Textile Artist | The Gloucestershire Guild Of Craftsmen

From an early age, I was always interested in pattern and texture and would gather various papers, materials and photographic evidence of my discoveries whilst on journeys. It was when I was first introduced to Textiles as a young teenager, that I become fascinated by the interaction of dye with cloth. Through intervention, one can disturb the dyes natural course to produce an array of striking patterns. This began my journey exploring the process of Shibori, which sensitively records the process applied to the cloth to reveal a unique pattern or texture upon the cloth. I have recently employed digital printing within my work, forming an intriguing amalgamation of my photographs and pencil drawings.
I studied at Bath Spa University for a BA (Hons) Creative Arts and completed an MA Design: Textiles in 2004. I am a member of the Studio Seven collective and also teach Textiles at a secondary school in Ross-on-Wye.

What a lovely girl

[@bristolfashion4421]

nice - what fun to see the marks revealed (at say 5:10) ! As an aside, why is that a proportion of commentators cannot stop themslves from making remarks on the subject of the artist's personal appearance? What on earth do such comments have to do with the presenter's skills and knowledge? What do such comments bring to the topic of the video?

Bloody heck but she is charming. Not just because she is lovely. But also she sounds so intelligent and feminine and comfortably confident/knowledgeable. I could listen to her talk for a long time. ☮

Está bien tu explicación, gracias, me gustaría saber si puedes darme alguna dirección para comprar seda natural, yo compro en China, y me gustaría comprar a alguna cooperativa de mujeres si es posible. También me gustaría saber si lo que es sintético usas tintes naturales o no?
