Ruth Issett: A Passion for Colour, Friday 1st November

We are delighted to be able to welcome renowned textile artist, Ruth Issett, to talk about her passion for colour.  Ruth’s illustrated talk explores the use of colour through her own work as a textile artist, designer and and embroiderer.

Ruth is one of the foremost colourists in the textile art world, and her passion for colour is evident in the vibrant combinations used in her stunning artworks.  She says she is “fascinated by how colour responds to different surfaces, such as papers, fabrics, threads and fibres, as well as printed and stitched surfaces.”


After studying at Art College for five years, working within all areas of textiles, Ruth went on to lead a textile department in Kent before moving to  Shropshire.  Here she works from her studio, concentrating on her own work with some limited teaching.

Ruth is a member of the Textile Study Group and the PRISM exhibiting group.

Anyone who is interested in exploring the use of colour in their work will definitely enjoy Ruth’s talk, and visitors are always welcome.
