I have been doing a fair bit of research into the best ways to market my work as an artist. I have decided to start this community of Textile Art & Design. Please bear with me as I develop the site, this is all new to me and the technical side in the back office taking its toll, but I will persevere, and eventually this should be a fantastic resource offer any budding artist or designer.  Like everything it takes teamwork to develop such a  resource.  So I implore you to keep active within the community here at textile art and design.  It will allow all others in the Art and Design Industry to have a greater exposure on the net. By joining together in this community, and combining our efforts in constant relevant information about Textile Art & Design; we can all enjoy a greater notoriety in our chosen niche.



By visiting the community each day and updating your journals, posting to the forum and communicating with each other by way of personal messages.  As the site develops and the members start to add content to on the subject of Art Textiles and Design, We can all expect a wider audience as the search engines visit the domain because of the constant activity on the site.



I am textile artist and currently in my final year at university. I have been in the textile industry for nearly 30 years, working as a soft furniture and interior design consultant. I have also been an avid crafter mastering skills in the majority of textile-based crafts.  And I hope to be bringing you my experiences of these different crafts.  As this community develops, I will share with you information ideas, tips and tricks to do with textiles and associated crafts.

Key Words: Textile, Art, Design, Community,Craft
