Marit Fujiwara

Marit Fujiwara  was born in Norway and raised in Brazil before moving to London to study at Chelsea College of Art and Design. She graduated from Chelsea College of Art and Design in 2009 and then set up her company Tanana Takite. Specialising in mixed media and constructive textiles, she creates some really unique pieces that push the boundaries between Art, Craft and Design. She adopts an experimental attitude towards materials, combining traditional printing techniques with embroidery and fabric manipulation.Specially those colorful dresses aren't just clothes but the examples of professional artwork. Marit creates stunning and dreamy things which reflect artist’s talents and exceptional taste.  As a keen illustrator, she bases her work on drawing allowing fluidity to her garments projecting the idea of movement and time. You can see some really beautiful pieces on her Flickr page including some amazing one off wedding dresses.

Averil Stuart-Head

She is a Textile/Fibre/Mixed Media Artist, art workshops in painting, fiber art, quilt art, mixed media, felting, collage, taught in a medieval Italian mountain village Introdacqua . She also   like to  experiment   with   different     photo transfer technique's, dyeing wool and felting it into art pieces.    Much  of her work includes the process of layering and she get a good deal of satisfaction from building up texture. She loves that time has marked, peeled, rusted and corroded the surface, similar to the facade of a old painted wall or an old relic, creating an effect that is rich in colour, texture and history. 

Through the use of multi-layered techniques, She likes to peel back the layers as if going back through the passage of time. "This provides contrast and interest and allows the viewer to explore the composition past the immediately obvious central themes..."( that what she says)

Maurizio Anzeri

Maurizio Anzeri makes his portraits by sewing directly into found vintage photographs. His embroidered patterns garnish the figures like elaborate costumes, but also suggest a psychological aura, as if revealing the person’s thoughts or feelings. The antique appearance of the photographs is often at odds with the sharp lines and silky shimmer of the threads. The combined media gives the effect of a dimension where history and future converge. The image used in Round Midnight is an early 20th century ‘glamour shot’ that at the time would have been considered titillating for both the girl’s nudity and ethnicity. Anzeri’s delicately stitched veil recasts the figure with an uncomfortable modesty, overlaying a past generation’s cross-cultural anxieties with an allusion to our own.
