Local textile artists Dionne Swift and Nicola Perren will talk about their artist practice and their experiences of quilting communities.

Huddersfield Art Gallery

Join two fascinating local textile artists, <a href="https://www.dionneswift.com/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Dionne Swift</a> and <a href="https://perrenstudios.com/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Nicola Perren</a>, to hear about their processes and inspirations for their work, and their experiences of working on collaborative quilts with people within Kirklees and beyond.Dionne has been creating, exhibiting and teaching for over 30 years and specialises in free machine embroidery, with a commitment to drawing, observing and reacting to her environment. For Dionne, making is a meditation but her pieces are still imbued with vitality and energy.A designer and teacher, Nicola’s practice is centred around creativity, play and exploration. Quilts hold a particular fascination for Nicola, specifically Whole Cloth quilts which can be found around the world, and she is interested in quilts that are both functional and not. She is working with local communities as an artist in residence on our <a href="https://woveninkirklees.co.uk/projects/growing-colour-together/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Growing Colour Together</a> project and is exploring using more natural dyes in her own work.This event will take place in Huddersfield Art Gallery&#x27;s temporary space in the Piazza Shopping Centre in Huddersfield. While the venue itself is wheelchair accessible, please note that there are no accessible toilets within the building.
