Christina Leigh-Howarth

I gained a BA (Hons) in Graphic Design at Coventry University in 1984. Spent 10 years in Computer Graphics before having a family.  Within the last three years have been developing skills in print and textiles.

Currently I am in my second year on an experimental textile course at Lund Gallery in Easingwold.

My work is experimental within different textile techniques.

I am interested in texture, form, colour and patterns. I often take photographs to source my subject matter, especially close ups of plants, decaying leaves, tree barks. I sketch and draw objects to then create linocuts, screen prints and mono prints for textiles and paper.
