Catrin Edwards-Jones

I studied Portraiture at the Brighton College of Art and later furthered my training there in Textile Art.

Before opening my Cornish Studio in St Ives I founded the Sussex Quilters; a television programme was made to explain the methods used by our members. At this time I was also teaching Textile Art at Truro College and the St Ives School of Painting. I went on to set up another quilting group, the St Ives Quilters - prior to returning to Brighton in the 90's in order to be near my family.

Since my return to Brighton my Art has become very diverse - Sculptured Portraits in Terracotta and various interpretations of the Sussex Coast including Brighton Marina - in Oils, Watercolours, Textile Art and Stained Glass. Most recently I have been producing hand-painted lampshades for which I am also taking commissions.

My work has been seen and commissioned at the Chelsea Craft Fair, Liberty & Co and Harvey Nichols with exhibitions at London's Foyles and in the U.S.A.
