Sally Hutson
Introducing myself:
Sally Hutson is a Textile Artist now living in Worcester. Pattern, colour and texture are stitched together from antique and new fabrics using free motion machine stitching, quilting and embroidery techniques to create rich decorative painterly pieces.
Sally is intrigued by design elements and symbols within illuminated manuscripts, Pre-Raphaelite Paintings and Iconography. A fascination with all things medieval, her work features faces, figures and text. As a Textile Historian Sally believes old and worn cloth have memory held within the weave and threads. She stitches these fading memories into a beautiful rich narrative of past times and lives. Tiny miniature costumes are influenced by Classic books such as The Secret Garden and combine favourite meaningful quotes into the pieces. Sally handyes fabrics to include into her work.
Sally has an MA in Textiles and Anthropology. Exhibited Nationally and Internationally. She has taught full time for 20 years in college and university within Art & Design Dept.
Sally works to commission and gives talks and workshops on a variety of textiles.
