This talk is part of the lecture programme accompanying ArtConTex a major textile event being held at The Minories, Colchester, Essex from 2nd to 5th October 2025.

Sara Impey is an internationally known textile artist. Her work is based on the techniques of quiltmaking and her speciality is stitching words. A former journalist, she writes the texts herself and uses the textile surface to comment on social, political or personal issues, sometimes with a dash of humour. She has worked in several national and international museum collections, including the Victoria & Albert Museum, the International Quilt Museum in Nebraska and the American Museum of Arts and Design in New York. Sara comes from a farming family in Feering and lives in Coggeshall.
