Catalogue
The Contemporary Textiles Fair is a well-established, high quality and highly regarded event, held in the magnificent Grade II* gothic surroundings of the Landmark Arts Centre in Teddington, South-West London. The fair is unique in its focus on textile artists & designer makers, unencumbered by suppliers, DIY kits, and other craft disciplines. It is this clear focus, together with the characteristic setting and returning visitors that make this event both enjoyable and successful, year after year.
The Contemporary Textiles Fair is somewhere textile enthusiasts, collectors and art lovers can come to find artworks with texture, wearable masterpieces, handmade homeware, and unique curiosities. This isn’t granny’s knitted teacosy territory, this is contemporary quality! From stitched wall-hangings with conceptual significance, to carefully designed and hand- crafted objects; this fair does not discriminate – the art/craft barrier fades away to reveal exceptional talent in textiles.
Returning for the second year to the Contemporary Textiles fair is Raw Fibres; a section of the fair supporting and showcasing a selection of the best new UK textile artists. Raw Fibres is a platform for graduates, students, and fledgling maker-businesses to promote and sell their work to collectors, enthusiasts, and local visitors alike. Allowing them space to launch their work into the textile art world, meet fellow artists and designers, and giving them advice and encouragement to move their practice forward.
For 2019 the fair has selected 4 wonderful artists; Ria Burns Knitwear – Ria uses naturally dyed British wool knitwear and accessories. Her work champions the natural hues and qualities of British wool, incorporating vibrant pops of plant dyed colour. Her aim is to produce pieces that are the opposite of fast fashion, designed for longevity and made to be cherished, looked after and passed down.
Carol Bartlett – lives and works in Penarth, South Wales. Her stitched pictures are hugely inspired by the Victorian and Edwardian architecture of old shops, photographs of local people, her research into her home town and Swansea’s social and economic history.
Ria Burns - Stand No.16
Romor Designs - Stand No.40
Mariangela Bruna of Maribru Knitwear - graduated in 2017 with a degree in textile design from London Metropolitan University. She specializes in knitting and her dream is to start a knitwear label. Mariangela’s priorities are to work ethically and sustainably on a small scale, producing handcrafted and high-quality items. Items are made only with pure organic wool from small British producers, mainly from the Shetlands.
And Charlotte Taylor of Modern Floss - a textile artist based in the North of England who specialises in contemporary hand embroidered lettering. The embroidery is often incorporated with hand painting to create a variety of textures within the pieces.
