KATE FINDLAY

Kate Findlay

I am a teacher and textile artist living in Shinfield, near Reading, Berkshire. I am a professional artist, working on textile pieces as well as giving talks and workshops. I did an art (Textiles) degree at Kidderminster College after a Foundation year at Winchester School of Art. I worked in industry as a surface pattern designer for four years and then retrained as a teacher. I have taught art, and design technology for 25 years in Secondary and Primary schools, and also taught adult classes. I currently use textiles as my main media, producing framed hand dyed appliqué pieces, large art quilts and mixed media pieces which although rooted in the quilt process, push the boundaries of art quilting. Currently I have been working on a series of framed pieces inspired by animals and birds of the British countryside. www.artsfindlay.co.uk
