Jessica Grady

Last Saturday we had an excellent talk by Jessica Grady. She told us the story of her textile artist life so far. Her work is very colourful and she uses unusual materials like rubber bands, cotton wool buds, washers and hair curlers which she dies and paints and uses instead of beads and sequins. It's not many young women who would confess that their favourite shop is Wilko's pick and mix hardware department for washers and grouting spacers! It was lovely to have tables full of samples which we could handle. Here are some photographs of Jessica's work.
