Anne Griffiths

I am a textile artist and tutor based in Oxfordshire, who works primarily with transparent fabrics and machine embroidery often combined with metal or etched acrylic for use in interiors.

I have been a FE college lecturer for the past 8 years where I have taught a range of City & Guilds and recreational courses, in Design, Embroidery, Machine Embroidery, Felt, Beading and Textile Decoration. I also lecture and hold workshops at schools, and textile guilds throughout the country as well as at my studio.

I have recently completed a residency at Diamond Light Source where I was inspired by a range of scientific projects involving iron. This resulted in a series of work based on the memory of cloth, where fabric was printed with magnetic materials, printed with rust and stained with iron pigments.
