Tea ‘N Chat – Textiles Are Valuable

Textiles Are Valuable – a talk with Nicola Perren (University of Huddersfield)

Tuesday 20th September – Start time 7.30pm       

Join our TEA ’N CHAT with Textile Artist and Senior Lecturer Nicola Perren, who will talk about the importance of textiles in our lives and routes to a career in the textiles industry.

Nicola is a freelance designer, maker and tutor with a studio based in Slaithwaite, West Yorkshire. Having spent over 20 years as a f/t senior lecturer in Textiles at the University of Huddersfield, their experience teaching weave, drawing for textiles, craft and design has led into a practice that springs from drawing into textiles.

Nicola has a BA [Hons] in Textile Design and an MA in Contemporary Art, this mix of approaches to practice then led onto a PhD [Activating the Amateur in a Crafts Practice] which celebrates making and creativity in non-formal learning environments.

THE EVENT IS RUN ON ZOOM.
