New Member: Jenny Waterson
We are really pleased to welcome Jenny Waterson to the Textile Study Group. Jenny is based in Greater Manchester and brings her weave specialism to the group.
Jenny Waterson. Rainbow Weaving (gold). Hand weave. Linen, cotton and Lurex yarns.
Jenny explains:
“I am an artist weaver creating my own vocabulary of symbols in weave around themes of ambiguity, generational geographies and human experience.
Recent work reflects my experience as the mother of a young adult changing their gender identity. I weave transitional pattern and colour sequences to explore evolving narratives of identity, belonging and motherhood. My weaving brings together old and new in a sampler format, reconstructing traditional textile imagery to question socio-political frameworks and offer new, inclusive meanings.
Following a career as a textile designer and trend consultant, and more recently as an exhibitions and learning curator, my focus now is my own practice as an artist and educator. Alongside my weaving, I teach creative textile workshops for arts, heritage and community organisations.
I am delighted to be a new member of the Textile Study Group. Membership for me means being part of a welcoming group, where I can connect with other textile artists/tutors and support each other creatively. I’m really looking forward to developing my work as part of the weekend workshops, and especially to exhibiting with the group."
