Jenny Bennigsen – Talk – “Treasured Moments: Stitching Memories to Take into the Future”

Aspects of my back story, my practice and how stories and narratives are important to my work. I will also share a technique known as ‘material cultural analysis’ and how this can aid textile art. 

About Jenny

As a textile artist and designer/maker, my work captures fading memories and narratives and stitches them into something new and tangible to take into the future. 

I love to use free machine embroidery but also experiment with other techniques such as print and textile manipulation. 

I returned to study after home educating my children and graduated from Bradford School of Art in 2023, gaining a distinction in Textiles Practice. I was also awarded the travel award for excellence in textile design from Bradford Textile Society and was sponsored by Madeira Threads for my final FdA collection.
