Folksy Finds

Textile Art has spent a long time in the shadow of Fine Art but its status is now steadily being raised. Here we explore different types of textile art and look at some of the techniques practised by textile artists.

Anthropomorphic animals, quirky creatures, folk art miniatures and heirloom dolls – knitted, stitched, carved and built from the imagination of makers.

Join our campaign to rethink how we shop. Buy less, buy better and buy handmade to support the makers and help the planet at the same time.
