The Winter Conference this year is a valuable opportunity to spend the whole day working with
Textile Artist, Vivienne Beaumont https://www.viviennebeaumont.net/
‘I originally studied Fine Art and have been an art teacher for many years. In 1995, with a move to Shropshire, I found Westhope College, where I was able to do City and Guilds textile courses. I was awarded a medal of excellence from City and Guilds. Wanting a change of life style and to do my own art work, I retired from teaching at Shrewsbury High School to do an MA at Hereford College of Art. I really enjoyed doing the MA, it helped me to better understand my motivations and to establish my artistic identity’.
