We’re pleased to present Life Stories: Textile art inspired by people and memories, the second book by Ali Ferguson @thepurplethreadshed.

'Life Stories delves into and explores the three things that most inspire me as a textile artist – Collected stuff, Words and Clothing. My fascination with each takes me in many different directions, but they always bring me back to the same place – creating textile art, with a palpable sense of story, about ordinary people and everyday life. This is the essence of this book.’ – Ali Ferguson

Ali shares the stories and thinking processes behind pieces of her work, alongside the techniques that she uses, instructions for making projects and a thoughtful curation of related work from other contemporary textile artists working with similar themes.

Out on 1 October and available to pre-order now from good booksellers and www.batsfordbooks.com.

🧵 COMING TO THE BATSFORD GALLERY
Ali Ferguson: Life Stories pop-up exhibition
