This month we welcome Jenny O’leary to the Tractor Shed. Jenny is a textile artist and tutor living and working in Oswestry. Her work is inspired by the landscape of Shropshire, it’s colours, patterns textures and shapes.Through her textile art she aims to bring out feelings about what is around her rather than being a true representation of any one place.
She works predominately in batik(hot wax resist) on tissue paper and on fabric, often combining it with machine embroidery adding a drawn element to her work.
Jenny offers talks, courses and workshops in Shropshire and around the UK. Her workshops use different themes to help explore the possibilities of the techniques that she uses in her own work.
She is a member of The Shropshire Guild of Contemporary Crafts and The Batik Guild
