Louise Nichols
Textile Artist – Quethiock, Cornwall
Louise has been working with textiles & design since gaining a
B.A.Hons.Degree in Fashion & Textiles – specialising in Surface Decoration
She loves pattern, looking at the positive & negative – the pattern within
the picture – & also loves working with colour, exploring how the ‘feel’ of
an image changes with the use of varying colours.
Working from her studio in Cornwall she produces a range of images made
from lino cuts which have been inspired by her everyday surroundings.
The lino cuts are printed onto linen & she then uses fabric application &
hand stitching to add detail & texture. The prints are used to create various
items auch as glasses pouches, purses, brooches & hangings.
