Let textile artist Elinor Kapp tell you a story...

Article Added: 10/10/2008

In her recent book Rigmaroles and Ragamuffins, Elinor Kapp delved into the meanings of words that she became familiar with during her work as a textile artist. In the book she makes an important contribution to our awareness of the cultural importance of textiles and she is now transferring the same energetic style to talks about the subject.

Elinor is available to give talks to any guild or group, including quilters, lacemakers, weavers, embroiderers and felters – and she will tailor the evening to suit your particular group.

Elinor says, “I can enchant you with fluffers, spin you a yarn, find you a silver lining and turn your meeting into a gala occasion.” And one lady who can testify this is Sue Dane, honorary chairman of the Lace Guild, whose group had a visit from Elinor earlier this year. Sue told me, “Elinor attended our 2008 Convention and AGM and gave a very entertaining and informative talk after our banquet. Many of our members had an opportunity to talk to Elinor over the weekend and she is full of information relating to textiles and language."

If you would like to arrange for Elinor to come to your meeting then please email her at elinor.kapp@gmail.com or call her on 029 2039 7850. Why not grasp the nettle and contact her today?
