Stella Jones
Stella graduated from Liverpool Hope University with a
Bachelor of design in textiles and wood, she has worked in lots of different
media, including papier mache.
Her papier mache figures previously had the clothes hand
stitched from remnants of material .
The
figures Stella is currently making have been made using newspaper, wire and a
little tissue paper. Stella wanted to show what can be achieved with the
variation of colour and pattern in newspapers and a little creativity.

Judith Brown uses vintage haberdashery in her work
Judith
Brown Jewellery
Artist’s Statement
Having
studied embroidery at Manchester I have taken a simple stitching technique and
pushed it beyond the boundaries of textiles to create original jewellery. I began
working with wire in 2004 in order to develop a way of working that would
highlight the stitch itself. I use fine wire and treat it as thread, stitching
without fabric to make intricate forms which hold their form over time, yet are
still seemingly delicate.
Much
of my work incorporates found objects. My Vintage Collections use recycled and
upcycled haberdashery. In our throw away society I want to highlight the simple
beauty of such everyday objects, once so precious as to have been hoarded away
by our grandmothers in the times of “make do and mend”.
