Alice Kettle

Christopher Farr Cloth has collaborated with Alice Kettle, a contemporary textile artist and Professor of Textiles at Manchester School of Art, Manchester Metropolitan University on a special cushion project with craft groups of refugees. With Alice’s guidance and support, the brand has commissioned individuals from craft groups across the UK to create a collection of hand-embroidered cushions featuring distinctive running stitched designs. The program continues Alice’s ongoing work with Bridges for Communities and Arnolfini’s Women’s Craft Group in partnership with the Bristol Refugee Festival.  

Each cushion is a one of a kind commission featuring motifs and designs personal to each maker. The designs include heart motifs, flowers and garden scenes using colourful thread stitched on a linen cloth. Inspired by the beautiful stitchwork created by the crafts groups, Alice has also created a series of cushions using techniques she has learned from the refugees and has incorporated them with her distinctive design aesthetic.
