Firstly welcome London designer Anne-Marie Faulkner and her delightfully gorgeous hats and head pieces.
After completing a degree in constructed textile design at Duncan of Jordanstone School of Art in Dundee, Ann-Marie moved to London and began studying millinery with Rose Cory (the Queen Mother’s former milliner).
Working with a range of materials from knitted yarns to laser cut wood and fine silks to metal sheeting, Ann-Marie sensitively combines contemporary and innovative textile designs with traditional British millinery techniques to produce unique pieces for both everyday wear and special occasions.
Next, and nicely timed for the cold winter ahead, are Mitchell and Black Textiles and their lovely knitted scarves and accessories.
Mitchell & Black Textiles are contemporary textile designers who specialise in the design and creation of beautifully hand crafted knitted accessories for women and children. Taking inspiration from structures and patterns they are combined with a vibrant colour pallete to create an original collection of scarves and mitts. All woollen designs are made from 100% Geelong Lambswool spun in Scotland.
The main inspiration for Christina's work is nature. She aims to capture the delicate textures and shapes of nature in metal. After studying natural forms, by drawing and photographing them she take shapes and textures and translates them into designs for jewellery. Some pieces are life like representations of nature, others have a more fantastical quality.
..and last for now is Genna Delaney, jewellery desigener and maker from Dundee. Genna has been with the gallery for a couple of months now but is due a proper introduction!
Genna is an award winning jewellery designer who recently won the Dundee Craft Makers Award and came 3rd in the Jolomo Art and Design Awards this year. She is passionate about designing and making jewellery and thrives to produce bespoke, superbly produced handcrafted pieces. Genna states,
"Architecture is a major influence in my work which inspires both geometric forms and organic sculptures. Movement is also a prominent force where rare coloured stones can be moved along the labyrinths of my work. My pieces are tactile, playful and sculptural. Natural rock formations influence the texturing and layering of many of my designs".
