Introducing new member Jenny Butcher

 

Out of the Fold welcome Jenny Butcher as a new member from September 2024


Jenny’s interest in textiles was rekindled during her time as a mature student studying for a Fine Art degree.

She completed the Creative Stitch Course in Ipswich in 2019 and has more recently finished the Advanced Stitch Textiles Course.




Catch 22

A reoccurring theme in Jenny’s work is the subjective topic of ‘Roots’, in particular the impact of adoption on individuals and their families during the 1950s.

Research has become an integral part of her practise because it informs and drives her working processes.







Pebbles

She is also inspired by local history and geography of the area where she lives on the Suffolk coast.

Photography is often the spark that ignites new ideas as well as foraging and integrating found matter with her work. 







Found

Experimenting and manipulation play their part in the learning process as Jenny seeks to find meaning through materials.
