Francesca Gillett – Q&A

‘Covid 19 hit the country before I could even graduate from university. Once home and with the job market looking bleak, I was still keen to keep my creative side going. I took to the garden shed to create new designs in different mediums. Throughout the summer of 2020, I used Alcohol inks to produce a range of designs, using various techniques and continued this into the festive season, adding silver and gold to bring some sparkle. Being an abstract designer, I love the bright colours and textures alcohol inks create. I took my design forward by producing cards and coasters to sell in my local area. Continuing to be creative during lockdown has helped my mental health and kept my passion for textiles alive. Going into 2021 is much the same as the year before. I wanted to focus and take this time to add new designs to my portfolio and getting my work recognised’. Francesca Gillett
