Some of you will be aware that my wonderful husband, Simon Brown, died suddenly in 2020. My response was to make art and map the progress of grief and recovery through a series of textile works and paintings.
During my last visit to Japan I went to the coast of Koyoto Prefecture to visit Tamiya Raden, a world leading Japanese Weaving Company.
Generous Art is launching its first exhibition and interactive workshop as part of KAOS 23, in the Cabin Space at ASC Hawks Road Studio.
Commissioned by James and Yoshie Ochiai-Brown for their dining room, this wall hanging is hand decorated with the Yuzen technique, and embroidered with gold thread.
I am pleased to tell you that from 2022 I will be doing illustrated talks about Japanese textiles and kimonos.
I have joined KAOS- a group of professional, semi-professional and experienced artists living and working in the Kingston area.
Silk thread maybe very strong but it’s easily decayed if not looked after. Very fortunately I have found some Japanese Ecclesiastical silk skeins in perfect condition. These will have come from a Temple and are still in their original paper packet.
I can’t wait to use them.
I have some free tickets for the Hampton Court Handmade Festival for anyone on my mailing list.
If you are interested to come on Friday 13th/14th/15th September just contact me.
