Fiona Gill
Fiona is an award-winning textile artist with a lifelong passion for fibres, fabric, and thread. Fiona brings a deeply personal and imaginative approach to everything she creates. Her distinctive work, often featuring animals and flowers crafted from wet-felted wool and brought to life with free-motion machine embroidery, blends technical skill with her artistic intuition.
For her, the creative process is an alchemy of experience and emotion: “The world goes in through your eyes, percolates down through your brain, filters through your heart and then comes out of your fingers… picking up a little bit of you on the way.” And it is that “little bit of you,” she believes, that makes a work truly unique, something no one else can replicate.
Whether drawing from the natural world or the human spirit, her textiles resonate with warmth, wonder, and a quiet kind of magic.
Vivienne Littley uses a mix of acrylics, inks and watercolours, often incorporating iridescent, metallic and textured mediums to create shifting light and depth that change with the viewer’s perspective.

Mary is intensely interested in texture and this tends to dominate her more recent work. Her colour palette is often limited, instead using texture as the emphasis. Her more recent work has seen a movement towards collage and collagraphs, the latter being prints made from a collaged plate.
