Current exhibition

Counterpane landscapes (Essex landscapes crafted using upcycled bedlinen to create textile collages) – A series of new work from by Clare Sams

*****************************************************************

Clare’s practice:

My arts practice is within the realm of textiles, creating two-dimensional artworks and three dimensional soft sculptures using plant based and sustainable materials. Previous works have explored themes including rising sea levels, food sustainability, and social isolation. Using textiles as a medium fosters a sense of wellbeing and welcoming through the tactility of the work and the domestic heritage of fibre arts. Sustainability is at the core of my practice, minimising the environmental impact of my work through using sustainable recycled and biodegradable materials.

I have a proven track record of delivering engaging and inclusive arts activities for all ages and abilities. Working to create collaborative or individual artistic projects within schools and community settings. The accessibility of textiles can be used to encourage dialogue on sensitive subjects, as it offers familiarity and comfort within its realm. Participants working in stitch or simple textile techniques can quickly and confidently create their own works and use these skills as a platform from which to voice their ideas and identity.
