Here are some of my images from college.

I have been lucky enough to returned to education as a mature student to study fabric design. In the past have made my own clothes, knitted garments and altered clothes to make them up to date or look different. Always taken an interest in fashion, fabric and the construction of garments. Also attended a jewellery design and making course working in silver and gold and still wearing some of my pieces today but gave most of them away as presents ! Spent alot of time restoring old furniture for my home instead of buying new and had some unique stuff !!

Michael Brennan-Wood when he first went to Manchester Art School he was going to study
fine art. Changed his mind and decided to study Embroidery. After he obtained his degree he went to do a MA in Textiles at Birmingham Polytechnic.
Michael established his studio in Bedfordshire 1977 where he still works and experiments with perspex and wood, found objects, stone and resins.

Michael Brennan-Wood is a true Textiles Artist, his work is amazing with such fine detail.
Brennan- Wood has an exhibition at The Burton Art Gallery and Museum, Bideford, North Devon at the moment. Would be great to go and see his work and study the different technique's he has used.
