About Studio Seven The Studio Seven artists work both independently and collaboratively to produce a beautiful and diverse range of textile-based artwork, clothing, fashion accessories, and soft furnishings using printing, dyeing, painting, feltmaking, mixed-media, and millinery techniques. In 2007, they began creating on collaborative projects which bring textiles to audiences in new and surprising contexts. The innovative Textiles in Performance (2007), Make Do & Mend (2008, showing at The Museum in the Park January - February 2010), and Cut 2 on Fold (2009) each explored areas in the rich thematic landscape of textiles and making, and have together established Studio Seven's reputation for creating ground-breaking cross-arts projects. The artists sell their textiles at their workshop at New Brewery Arts in Cirencester.
Studio Seven artists are: Liz Lippiatt, Kathryn Clarke, Jenny Bicāt, Anne Rogers, Sarah Cant, Sarah Cooke, Corinne Hockley.
