Textile Art
Commonly confused with Textile Design, Textile Art is an oft-misaligned art form. With little or no resale value yet, full time textile artists in the UK are few and far between. The need therefore to direct Textile Art into a dialogue between the fine art and textile worlds and then link them remains an ongoing task for those involved in the artform.

Graphic Novels
In recent years there has been a resurgence in this art form with some saying it is the fastest growing area of publishing at present. With well-known writers such as Iain Rankin using graphic novels as a new medium, graphic novels being turned into popular films and illustration and animation having a renaissance generally, the art form is definitely on the move.
