Angela Daymond: Textile Artist and Tutor

Workshops and Talks by Angela Daymond

I work as a freelance artist and teacher and live in the East of England. I specialise in natural dyeing and using recycled materials in my textile work getting colour from flowers, leaves, roots and bark. I love teaching others this traditional and sustainable craft. I also teach a range of patchwork and quilting workshops suitable for all levels. I challenge myself to use recycled textiles in my work and to create unique fabrics through the use of dye and paint. I constantly find inspiration in the flat Fens and big skies of the east.

I am available for bookings from groups, schools and individuals and hold an up to date CRB check, safeguarding adults training and public liability insurance.

Workshops

I have a wealth of experience of teaching adults and children and I love helping others find their creativity. My workshops are accessible for everyone and can be adapted to suit individual needs. Many workshops inspire people to create their own unique "one of a kind" fabrics, particularly making use of natural dyeing techniques.

My workshops include natural dyeing, shibori, using procion dyes and various printing techniques as well as many patchwork and quilting techniques.

Talks

I offer talks to groups, currently based on my experiences of natural dyeing and undertaking a City and Guilds Diploma in Patchwork and Quilting. Talks are suitable for a range of different groups and ages and may be tailored to meet your individual needs.
