Uni starts back in a couple of weeks and I've already started thinking about course work. I'm a nerd, I know. One of our units requires us to investigate a material that is not traditionally used in jewellery. So of course I've been ploughing through all my sewing boxes looking for ideas. I've also had a bit of a look at other jewellers who use textiles in their work.
Sally Collins is a Birmingham-based artist who incorporates textiles with metal work. I love how she uses the 'doily' silhouette with out making it look too prissy.Another is Eva of Tinctory, a Czech artist living in the UK. She uses vintage and naturally dyed silk to smock wearable forms. They are almost a modern take on the Elizabethan collar.
