Studio Seven is an exciting group of textile
designers, established as The Textile Workshop in 1985 and
re-formed with the current collective of seven artists in
2006.
Working independently as high profile
designers they have jointly run their studio outlet at the
Brewery Arts in Cirencester for the last four years producing
a colourful and lively range of modern accessories for fashion
and for home ,demonstrating their wide range of knowledge and
experience of ‘dye, print, cut and sew.
In 2007 Studio Seven began working on
collaborative projects which bring textiles to audiences in
new and surprising contexts. The ground-breaking, Arts
Council-funded ‘Textiles in Performance’, a site-specific
collaborative project combining textiles, dance, sound and
architecture, premiered at the Stroud International Textile
Festival in 2007. This highly successful project was followed
in May 2008 by the equally successful interactive
installation, ‘Make Do & Mend’, which became the star
attraction of the 2008 Stroud International Textile Festival.
This year Studio Seven is pleased to present Cut 2 on Fold, a
new interactive multi-faceted textile installation, which
explores the journey from flat pattern to calico toile to
finished garment to the wearing of the garment.
