Welcome to Penny Turnbull

Picture
As a textile and print artist my primary interest is in the layering and 
collaging of texture and colour to create my image. This is central to both my 
textile work (pictures, wall-hangings, jewellery, bowls and bags), and my 
prints.

My favourite themes are  landscapes, seascapes and coastal views as well as a  long held interest in  myths and legends.

In my work I enjoy experimenting with different processes, effects and  techniques, including   print, dye, felt, paint, batik, collage, combining them  using free machine  embroidery into one compositional piece.

My recent textile work involves the use  of an embellishing machine which allows you to combine  fabrics and colours in a  painterly way giving more scope to mix and fragment  colour. This gives me an  interesting background to further develop with   stitch.
Whilst I continue to design and  develop techniques based on themes of  interest to myself, I particularly enjoy  working on commissioned pieces of  "emotional baggage" designed exclusively for  the client according to their  needs. A bag, wall-hanging, picture or bowl can  be commissioned to celebrate a  wedding or special birthday, to commemorate  a loved one, or as a family heirloom to record family members, events etc. to pass down through the years. Owning a piece of "emotional baggage" will be  something truly unique, a talking point, a  work of art possibly to use as well  as look at.
