About the Texile Art Workshop with Priscilla Edwards

Priscilla will share her unique combination of creative techniques showing you how to shape wire by using pliers and fingertip manipulation to make a structure.

You will then explore the process of applying layers of silk and wax to your pieces – these can then be embellished by adding stitching, touches of paper, paint, buttons, broken jewellery, beads and anything else you may like to add.

Creating Characterful Scultpture

As the sculptures develop you will see their distinct characters unfolding and becoming your own creations.

Repurposing materials is hugely rewarding as it allows you to use fragments of precious fabrics and treasures in your stash producing an original piece that is totally personal and unique to you.

Meet Priscilla Edwards

Priscilla began creating sculptural textiles while studying embroidery at Manchester Metropolitan University during the 1990’s.

It was here she was encouraged to nurture her love of found materials and transform the lost and overlooked into arresting works of art.

Mixed Media and Textile Art

Over the past 20 years Priscilla has developed a unique range of manipulation methods using hand and machine stitching combined with wire, fabric, wax and found objects to create pieces full of wit and charm.

These charming, yet slightly dark, fairytale-like sculptures transcend the familiar qualities of the original materials and capture Priscilla’s perceptions of beauty, fragility and intrigue.

Once drawn into her enchanting world of afternoon tea, angelic angels and faux flora it’s hard not to be captivated by Priscilla’s inquisitive imagination.
