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
