Allie Kay's residency at Knockalisheen >>
Textile arts are particularly appropriate when working with people
[usually women] who, by their own assessment, have limited experience
of creative activity and yet often have experience of sewing. As well
as being accessible, this has the potential to be a very sociable and
even political art form, as evidenced by the AIDS quilts projects all
over the world. Allie Kay is a full time professional fibre artist and
teacher. She has had wide, practical experience of working with a range
of mediums and techniques including fibre, paper, plastic, felt, fabric
printing and dyeing, fabric collage and manipulation, weaving and spinning.
She has worked herself and with groups on 2 & 3 dimensional pieces.
