November 9th meeting–talk by Julie James-Turner

Report by Sue Chisnall-Sumner -
A brilliant meeting with Julie giving a very good overhead projector presentation  with clear slides of her work & close ups.
She also brought samples of her work - a beautiful coat made of pieces of reclaimed fabrics which were felted together with roses & ivy embellishments-  based on a woman's monthly cycle.

She also had a red blouse, colourful skirt & white dress which had been lazer printed & again made from small pieces of fabric with writing on them.
They represented  utilitarian clothing compared to the prettiness of women’s clothes during the 40s & 50s.
Look for the ‘keys’ in this piece below.
