Meet Alice, an acclaimed textile artist based at Cockpit Studios in Deptford, London. Known for her socially engaged artwork, Alice focuses on creating immersive installations and wearable sculptures that promote wellbeing and a connection with nature.

Alice's work is based on sustainable textile techniques, including the use of waste materials and traditional crafts such as natural dyeing, embroidery, patchwork, quilting and pattern cutting. She emphasises the tactile experience and aims to evoke physical and emotional responses from viewers as they interact with her pieces.

Inspired by her own experiences in nature, Alice's art highlights the therapeutic properties of the natural world. She has exhibited her work internationally and throughout the UK, including venues such as Arthouse Jersey, Hayward Gallery and Alexandra Palace.

As a socially engaged artist, Alice also runs community workshops and collaborates with a range of organisations including museums, charities, schools and brands. These workshops aim to empower participants by encouraging creativity and self-expression, whilst amplifying local voices and stories.
