new blog

Just in case any followers think I have disappeared off the face of the earth I have a new blog attached to my website at www.rowenaardern.com
Up and coming exhibitions include an exhibition at Trebah Gardens in Cornwall near Falmouth in September . www.trebahgardens.co.uk



Rowena Ardern - 'Natural Interiors'

Monday 12th September - Sunday 2nd October

Rowena is inspired by the fragility and beauty of the natural world, working from drawings and photographs to capture the essence of a place. Key elements of her work include her passion for vibrant colour, print and embroidery. Drawing from her inspiration at Trebah, many of her designs featured in this exhibition, are applied to fabrics, furniture and ceramics, combining the latest technologies with traditional hand techniques. She uses sustainable and up cycled materials whenever possible.

She recently completed in 2009 an MA Design (Textiles) at University College Falmouth, where she developed a body of work entitled 'Flora and Fauna: the Cornwall Collection'.
