Jackie Lunn

After studying embroidery at City and Guilds level, I returned to full-time education as a mature student, completing a two year General Art and Design course at York College of Further and Higher Education before acquiring a Textile Art Degree at Norwich School of Art and Design. I then went on to study for a City and Guilds Teachers Certificate at the City College Norwich.

While continuing to develop my own textile work for sale, commission and exhibition, I have been involved with a variety of community projects, textile workshops and courses. I currently work as a freelance textile artist and tutor, living and working in North Yorkshire. I am also a supply instructor for Henshaws Society for Blind People at their Arts and Craft Centre in Knaresborough.

The inspiration for my work comes from studying ancient architecture. Tribal dwellings, mud huts, wooden structures and also aspects and shapes which create the psychology of the house. Universal symbols such as circles, squares and triangles, which relate to religious notions also play a large part within the decoration of my pieces, together with the spiral, dot and wavy line drawings shared by all early cultures.
