The Maker
Laura Thomas Maker in Focus
26 March - 05 May 2013
Laura Thomas is an award winning woven textile artist and designer specializing in producing striking textile artworks for contemporary spaces.
Laura’s breadth of practice and multi-faceted approach has made her somewhat unusual in the woven textiles sphere. Whether it be site-specific art, exhibition work or interior textile design, underpinning all of Laura’s work is an inherent practical curiosity to exploit weave principles, celebrate the beauty of yarns and create striking aesthetics for this ancient craft.
Recent public art commissions for The Beaney House of Knowledge in Canterbury, Cynon Valley Hospital in Mountain Ash and the new Fairmont Hotel in Mecca have necessitated collaboration with Innovative Glass Products in Clydach to develop the Resonate aesthetic into glass lamination to make wall panels and windows suitable for high traffic areas.
