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.
