Artists

Fran Brammer

Fran has always played with cloth, loving its variety, physicality and versatility . After a digression into Art and Design education she has rediscovered freehand machine stitching allowing her to draw freely onto the fabric creating images to share personal experiences and histories of familiar landscapes. The images are made using found or salvaged fabrics, by building up multiple layers, then cutting them away revealing forgotten surfaces, colours, edges and textures. Fran lives and works in York, producing work for commission, sale and exhibition individually or with the York Textile Artists, hosting private workshops and for the Viking Loom Ltd.

Lacey Brown

I am an artist based in Whitby, i work from my garden studio and workshop. I enjoy experimenting with a variety of mediums, though i love using natural materials like wool for my pet portraits and wood for crafting decorative homeware and furniture. While im more known for my needle-felted pet portraits, i also enjoy creating art and giftware inspired by the local surroundings. Drawing my inspiration from Whitby’s sea and moors. These elements can be seen in my handcrafted wooden pieces, where i combine my love for illustrative designs in hand-burning images of local wildlife. I work on pet portrait commissions as a 2D needle felted image and also work in 3D.
