Clare Proctor Textiles
I am a graduate of the Embroidery course at Manchester Metropolitan University. I was awarded a scholarship by the Embroiderers’ Guild, which help me to set up as an artist. Since 1997 I have been working as a freelance textile artist creating exhibtion pieces and commissions, and delivering workshops and other activities.
I make original textile art, accessories and gifts for all occassions. Most of the fabrics that I use are hand-felted or are recycled from old tableclothes, clothing and everyday objects. I have always been fascinated by the replication of simple shapes to produce complex forms. I hope that I have produced a range of objects that people find both intriguing and playful, as well as beautiful.
