Lynn Setterington is a British textile artist particularly known
for her hand-stitched cloths and Kantha quilts celebrating the
ordinary and everyday. Lynn's work is held in many collections
including the V&A Museum. She trained at Goldsmiths College and
is an Associate Fellow of the International Quilt Study Center in
Nebraska.
My work uses largely hand-stitched processes and celebrates the
non- machine made mark. For the last decade I have specialised in
devising large-scale pubic engagement projects working with groups
from culturally diverse backgrounds.
I am drawn to colour, pattern, folk art and popular culture,
ranging from hand painted shop signs, to folk costume, outsider art
and well dressings.
