Jenni Cadman

Jenni Cadman originally graduated with a degree in Printed Textile Design in 1980 and has been making textile art since 1992 and teaching since 1997. She has over the years employed a wide range of techniques, media and materials including machine embroidery, applique, transparent fabrics and paint. Recent inspiration concentrates on a daily walk through a deer park near her studio in Dorset. Employing the rhythmical action of the sewing machine she applies threads in both broad flourishes and intricate details to suggest brushed colours or the spontaneous flow of a drawn line. Along with this new direction emerges a more narrative content to her work evoking memories of this past journey. Jenni exhibits her textile art widely in the South West and throughout the UK. She is a member of the Devon Guild of Craftsmen.
