Gail Myerscough

I am a designer/maker living in Lancashire. I create fashion accessories from wool mix felt. I am interested in using felt in a sculptural way. My inspiration comes from 60s and 70s designs and colours, in particular the designs and colourways of 1960s Scandinavian ceramics and fabrics and mid century design. I studied Surface Pattern Design but gradually became more interested in textiles. I think textiles must be in my blood. In tracing my family tree I discovered my ancestors worked in the textile mills of Lancashire as far back as 1800 and probably beyond.
