Anne kyyro quinn biography definition

Some of my favourite artists and designers using fabric manipulation techniques in craft, fashion, interiors and design.

Anne Kyyro Quinn is a stalwart of the textile interior design world.

Karina Thompson creates extraordinarily-detailed and textural wall-hangings using stitch and slash technique.
