A Talk by textile artist, Bridget Bailey

  • Blake Studio, Norwich School Norwich, England, NR1 4DD United Kingdom (map)

A JOINT NCAS NORWICH SCHOOL EVENT

Bridget made her first collection of millinery for Jean Muir in 1984. She co-founded the Bailey Tomlin millinery brand, selling to clients from Liberty to Saks Fifth Avenue.

She now makes artworks and sculptures that combine intricate making with the down-to-earth approach to life and death of an allotment gardener. They investigate aspects of nature from the growth-rhythm in a tangle of grass to the particular posture of a dead butterfly’s legs. Bridget describes her making process as ‘interpreting’ nature, describing its qualities through translating it into other materials. These materials and techniques come from her textile and millinery background, taking on a new level of refinement in their context as artworks.
