Saturday 9th November - A talk by Julie James-Turner - ‘From Boiler Suits to Hobble Skirts’-

Julie is fascinated by and takes inspiration from the 1940s and 1950s period, and the effect of the Second World War on women’s lives.
Each art piece is very detailed and uses a variety of traditional techniques such as knitting, embroidery and felting.
In addition she uses contemporary tools and technologies, such as laser cutting and digital embroidery, to extend the textile medium and enrich the works’ aesthetic, by deconstructing garments typical of the period before reinterpreting them.
