Dawn Ireland

I’m a Sheffield based Textile Artist. After gaining a B.A.Hons Degree in Textiles & Fashion, from the U.C.E in Birmingham, I moved to Sheffield were I have lived and worked as an artist since 1994. I have recently moved into a new studio based at ‘Stitched up and Fleeced’ in Nether Green. It’s a large space where I also run my creative textile workshops. My art work is a mixture of free-machine embroidery, fabric, painting and mono printing. Nature is the inspiration for most of my work, from the colours and textures in the landscape, the changing seasons, flowers and birds, to my three cats.
