| Jill Preston works in the media of textiles, paper and mosaics, particularly using recycled materials. Jill says her confidence is building and she will start The Diploma of Textile Arts at Box Hill TAFE in 2008. The Alcove Art Shop was her first chance to sell some of her work so she says she is learning and growing as a crafts person by spending time near beautiful things and creative people. She enjoys felting, knitting, crochet and collecting treasures in Op Shops to use in her work. |  |

Carol Downey has been working in the textile arts for 30 years, 9 of which were as a studio weaver with the
Australian Fibre Art Workshop. During that time she produced work for the fashion industry, tourist trade and interior decoration for both
domestic and commercial buildings. She has a passion for the tactile qualities of threads and textiles and currently enjoys designing unique scarves and wraps which highlight a variety of textures and colours. Carol now combines her experience in textile arts with hand papermaking and traditional techniques and materials are explored and manipulated to create non-traditional works, some of which reflect her passion for nature and the environment. A new journey of exploration involves creating one-off artists books, each one of which tells a story or makes a statement through its format, structure, materials and presentation. |
