I’m excited to be holding two informal afternoons to celebrate the launch of my second book Life Stories published by Batsford.
See the pages come to life in a pop-up display of work from the book and take the opportunity to ask me questions about my work and practice… and of course I’ll be delighted to sign your copy of Life Stories. Books will be available to buy at both events.
Life Stories
Textile art inspired by people and memories
by Ali Ferguson
“Ali stitches stories of ordinary people and everyday things using handwritten words, vintage materials, personal motifs and a whole lot of heart. This book delves in to the three things that most inspire her as a textile artist: collected stuff, words and clothing. Ali shares the stories and thinking processes behind pieces of her work, alongside the techniques that she uses, instructions for making projects and a thoughtful curation of related work from other contemporary textile artists working with similar themes.”
