JILL DENTON

My work is about colour and texture.   I have worked for most of my life with textiles in one way or another, and trained as a Fashion Textile Designer.

I now work in handmade felt.   Working spontaneously and passionately I find the process of feltmaking fascinating and therapeutic. I am constantly delighted by the slightly unpredictable outcome, and the way the fibres hold their pure colour when mixed. My work is often enhanced and embellished with stitch.   I also work in mixed media, using found objects and recycled fabrics and materials when- and wherever possible.

My work reflects my concern for the environment and I always try to reuse, recycle and reinvent in my work, at the same time encouraging others to do the same.

I produce decorative artwork and wearable, practical and functional items including shawls, scarves, jewellery, bags, cards and anything else that takes my fancy.   I am happy to share my skills with others and am frequently asked to do workshops.    I welcome commissions and am always keen to chat about my work, so  please contact me by phone or email.
