Cathy is a textile artist who makes community driven artworks with an emphasis on play, collaboration, and group learning. She has a joyful style with an emphasis on unusual combinations of textures, and a playful approach to colour and shape. Alongside smaller personal textile works, she runs workshops which celebrate and explore the journey of creating together rather than focussing on a specific visual outcome.
Sail Shades will be made in a workshop series with young people who face barriers to accessing arts opportunities, bringing a bright and colourful community-made canopy to the Brainchild field.
