Maria Thomas, "My Journey through Stitch" Talk


Maria Thomas at work in her studio


Maria loves to share her passion for textiles and enjoys giving colourful talks about her career and work inspirations.  She will bring along many samples of her work to display during her talk to us on Friday 4th February.
A love of fashion and sewing led Maria to take an ND in Printed Textiles at Mid-Warwickshire College, Leamington Spa in the late 1980s.  Keeping her connection with stitch she went on to study a BA Embroidery at Manchester School of Art, and in turn completed an MA Textiles at UCE in Birmingham.
Since graduating, Maria has taught drawing, embroidery and printed textile design at degree and FE level.  She has designed freelance for fashion, exhibited regularly and her work is in public and private collections in the UK & overseas.  Why not come along to her talk and be inspired?
