This Sunday, long-time guild member Elaine Peden will share her artwork for our first session of the year.

Elaine is a mixed media, process-led artist who aims to put sustainable practice at the centre of her making.

In her previous works, she used mainly wool fibre as her medium, creating 3D sculptures, wall art, and wearables. Currently, Elaine incorporates found objects, such as timber, rust, and dead stock fabrics, with stitching to create her mixed media pieces.
