Show notes
Jan trained as a painter and since the 1960’s has been a practicing textile artist.
As an Honorary Member of the 62 group of Textile artist, a Fellow of the Society of Designer Craftsmen, she has exhibited and sold work in the UK and overseas. All forms of landscape are a constant challenge and inspiration for her work. Jan has taught drawing and textiles in the UK, USA, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, Israel and Europe. She was joint Chief Examiner for the City and Guilds Institute for Embroidery. She has written many books, including those written with her friend and colleague Jean Littlejohn. They founded Double Trouble Enterprises in 1997 to promote drawing and all aspects of textiles.
Jan will be exhibiting work in the Exhibition, ‘Stitch Unbound 2026’ at the Willow Gallery, CIC, 56 Willow Street, Oswestry SY11 1AD, 4th July – 29th August and hopefully with the SDC in London in November.
