World War One was the main factor in the shift of labour towards women in 1914/1918, With the onset of the Arts & Crafts Movement women became the Entrepreneurs of that era. The textile industry was mainly based in the north of England. A typical rural setting of England, The cottage industries, based in the home, mainly women or disabled ex-war veterans fighting to survive.

Quote ?The spectacular Neo ? primitivism of inter- war hand weaving and printing contrasts sharply with the finest and complexity of the arts and craft equivalent. And the success of their interwar craft textile movement altered the gender balance in the craft world in favour of women as creative inventors.?

? If women ruled the world of philanthropic textile enterprises, sometimes with a rod of iron, the most creative end of the hand spinning, dying, weaving, hand block printing and embroidery world was also dominated by women. Like the aristocratic philanthropists many too tended to rely on cheap labour — employing village girls as well as taking on paying gentle women as pupils. But the atmosphere of creativity in these workshops was a good deal more chaotic, improvisatory and joyful. Many of these creative women had trained as painters in London art schools in the first two decades of the century. In a male dominated Edwardian and Georgian art world few women sustained fall successful careers as painters or sculptures. The crafts offered the possibility of greater artistic equality and at broader definition of artistic practice. There were good male/female artistic partnerships (like Therese Lessore and her first husband Bernard Adeney. Eve and William Simons, or Vanessa Bell and Duncan Grant) as well as examples of partial obliteration of female talent, Nevertheless the women who achieved the most tended to move sideways from the fine arts into the crafts, many of them into textiles. These women were responsible for bringing together modernism and the crafts, thus transforming the identity of the arts and crafts movement.

My aim is to bring a new dimension to textile design, examining various making processes in fabric and fibres. My work is individual and hand crafted. Although I have considered mass production of some designs, as a possible avenue to take, I feel that this would depreciate the essence of individuality in my work.
I undertake commissions for fashion accessories & home furnishings but my real passion is in the creation of textile wall hangings using mixed fibres incorporating traditional needlecraft methods.
For this exhibition I am showing paintings as well as textiles, my aim is to use these as a starting point for future designs in textiles.

testing testing,

I spent a good part of yesterday making sure that all RSS Feeds between my social networking and my textile blogs were linked.  Twitter, friend feed, bloglog, google buzz, and my fanpage & Groups in facebook. Its a labourious job, but well worth in the end as this will generate so much more to traffic to my blogs, allowing me to climb into search engines.  In my field of textiles and textile art.

there are links to my fan page to the right,  Please come and say hello.  also if you are a member of any of the other forementioned social networking communities.  I would love to see you there to.

I’ve also started to upload some of my old work in the social networking community so that you have an idea of what sort of things have been up to in the textile World. why not go over and see?

I will try to keep my work.  In some sort of date order as I’d upload photographs into the community’s.  This will allow you to see the progression and the direction that I am aiming for.  I like to work in a wide variety of medium, as far as materials are concerned.  It seems tho that the sources I draw inspiration from for my work seem to fall into certain categories

I love nature, natural fractals, fractal art. and also iteration of pattern. There is so much to be gained from nature its a constant source of amaisment to me. As for the resons i love fractals, well Chaios is the mathmatics of design and colour combined. I will talk more about this later.
