Exhibition at the London Fashion and Textiles Museum - Artists Textiles

Exhibition at the London Fashion and Textiles Museum - Artists Textiles 

This exhibition features the fabric designs of famous artists.  http://ftmlondon.org

I went to this exhibition and was really inspired. As a Textile Designer who came from a family of painters and then learned the rules of textile design at uni I found it liberating. I can ignore the rules! I can return to my painter roots and create much less traditional fabrics.

The Exhibition features fabrics from Dali, Picasso, Ben Nicholson, Chagall, Matisse and many more.

I took a few pictures.
