Bridget Bailey’s inspired by the diversity of the natural world, and the ways textiles and millinery can be used to describe and it’s flora and fauna. Her collections of artworks, and sculptures playfully explore these possibilities, combining intriguing ideas and observations with her particular skill with materials and attention to detail.
Trained in textiles and with a background in millinery Bridget produced her first collection for Jean Muir in 1984 and has made work for customers from Liberty to the V&A. Exhibitions include ‘Crafted, makers of the Exceptional’ at the Royal Academy, ‘London Craft Week’ at Fortnum and Mason, ‘Contemporary Textiles’ at the New Ashgate Gallery and ‘All My Desires’ at Jaggedart.
