The Lion's Mane

Patricia Bown

I specialise in using the traditional techniques of crochet, feltmaking, embroidery, hand and machine knitting to create tactile contemporary art pieces for exhibition, fashion accessories and interior design. The inspiration for my work comes from nature. Using the shapes, colours and textures from the everchanging seasons as my starting  point, I enjoy experimenting with yarns and materials to create three dimensional and sculptural pieces. I am currently investigating different techniques for embellishment as a way of enhancing my work.
