A Borderer, a shepherd’s daughter, a city dweller, an adventurer, an experimenter and insatiably curious.
From a background in Community Arts, I love exploring new ideas and my work constantly changes.
I currently work mainly in textiles, with a strong influence from historical/fantasy costume. I have recently discovered the joys of spinning, and have started creating my own yarns from the raw fleece to incorporate into my work.
Professional Skills
I am a qualified, experienced Community Education Worker and also have an HND in Contemporary Arts Practice.
I am gradually spending more time focusing on my own artwork, rather than working with others to develop their skills.
I am also a specialist in fine crochet, and I regularly deliver courses and conduct workshops. Details are posted here and also on my facebook page https://www.facebook.com/EllieFiddesArt/
If you want to know anything else, or wish to discuss a project with me please contact me at eaglerider1@hotmail.com
I am writing on behalf of the Public Catalogue Foundation and would like to ask for permission to reproduce three of your paintings, discovered during our research for Perth, Kinross and Angus at Angus College, on the Your Paintings website http://www.bbc.co.uk/arts/yourpaintings
I would be grateful if you could get in touch with me.
Kind regards,
