Strand

This post introduces one of our guest artists included in the Strand exhibition at Bridport.

Kate Dowty

Kate is a contemporary quilter using improvisational techniques to create colourful wall hangings with a very textural surface. Recent work celebrates the landscape, the coastline and the colours of West Dorset.

Brunel Broderers

The Brunel Broderers are a group of artists based in the South West of England who work in a variety of textile media and methodologies.
The group has built up a following within the textile world in challenging expectations of a medium traditionally called 'embroidery'.
Today their work defies a neat title encompassing as it does a diverse range of approaches, methods and materials to create a series of ideas for thematic schemes and exhibitions.

The group meets on a regular basis, holding workshops and providing a network of support and a forum for discussion. All group members are involved in promoting textiles to a wider audience.
