 Christine
Waygood has over thirty years experience working in
textiles
as a designer, teacher, and artist.Now working independently as a textile designer in Glossop in the High Peak of Derbyshire, she combines her studio work with teaching and community art projects. As a designer, she has established an international reputation for her distinctive designs which absorb the soft, subtle shades and changing moods of the Peak District. Originally studying constructed textiles, mainly weaving, her work has always remained diverse. She has travelled extensively, researching techniques, materials and design traditions which are reflected in her work. She has developed a deep interest in the manipulation of colour and pattern, and in combining techniques, from knitting through to feltmaking and appliqué, to create striking textiles from timeless original garments, to soft furnishings and accessories. She has worked as a designer in the Scottish Borders and London. Lectured in textile design at Eastbourne, Loughborough, and Goldsmiths College, and was head of constructed textiles at Liverpool John Moores University before setting up her own workshop in 1990. |
