Anne Kelly: Textile Art From Re-used Textile Treasures SS014

Today on the Stitchery Stories textile art podcast, Anne Kelly shares her life in fabric & thread. She chats with Susan Weeks about her inspiration drawn from everyday objects and textiles, international travel and folk art.

Susan chats with Anne about:

• International travel is not always a positive experience for everyone
• Her Moving Memories collaborative project (come and join in)
• Folk Art and being inspired by everyday, ordinary objects
• Collage as the link from mixed media to textiles
• Use those old pieces of fabric that you love - liberate your textile treasures!
• Cover your background to remove that threat of a blank page
• Writing books, teaching, and sharing our art
• How the internet has transformed life for an artist
• Thriving on 'happy accidents'
• The unhelpfulness of self imposed pressures
• How working on more than one project at a time can be very helpful but why multitasking is not...
• Why not use your UFOs as a starting point for a new piece of work?
