Sunday 24 September 2023, Meet Sue Lawty

17:00 - 18:00 GMT British Summer Time (BST)

Online event, hosted on Zoom by Sue Lawty

Sue Lawty's quiet, minimal and abstract works are strongly informed
by the material of their construction and characterised by meticulous
attention to detail. Whether working in linen, hemp, raphia or lead,
she talks of the 'integrity of mark making intrinsic to particular thread
or structure'.

Lawty is a highly experienced artist, designer and teacher, whose
work is in collections worldwide including the Victoria and Albert
Museum, London where she held a year-long residency. Prestigious
Artist Research Fellowships include Smithsonian Museums USA and
the University of Leeds. She is also an accomplished trekker and leads
both hard mountain treks and specialist textile walking trips to Bhutan and
India. The book 'Earth Materials' was published in 2017 about her
work.
