Meet the Tutor - Kim Thittichai

We are most fortunate that Kim Thittichai will be with us for Festival as keynote speaker and to conduct a workshop after Festival – details will be posted soon.

Kim has given us this understated bio for the blog:

“I am a textile artist, tutor and author based in Brighton, East Sussex. I lecture and deliver workshops internationally from Alaska to Australia. My workshops tend to promote the safe use of heat tools and heat ‘distressable’ products such as Tyvek, Vilene Spunbond and Bondaweb. The exciting exploration of new textile techniques is at the heart of all my workshops.

"I have written three books, Hot Textiles, Experimental Textiles and the latest – Layered Textiles, which will be published in August 2011.”

Marlborough Guild has Kim's first 2 books in the library, and they have been very popular with the Guild members. We look forward to her third.

What a treat it will be to hear from such an inspirational artist in person.
