The Artist
Jane Dorsett BA(Hons)
Jane Dorsett is a well established textile artist specialising in rag rugs,bags, and teaching all over wales. She made her first rug several years ago, whilst learning patchwork & quilting. Since then she has become addicted to this age old craft.
Jane takes a special interest in keeping traditional crafts alive and her interests are not only in rag rugs, but also embroidery, and stitching . Green issues are relevant to her work and recycling is an important issue in her art. It is making a new project out of old clothes that gives her a buzz!
This year is full of demonstrations and workshops in Cwmbran Library and all over torfaen and south wales. Jane can supply all rag rugging requirements, tools, frames, fabrics and buttons as well as info on the care & restoration of old rugs. She is available for talks, demonstrations and advice on rag rugs and welsh textiles.email janedorsett123@btinternet.com| or ring 01633868727 for info
