Lynn Setterington

Lynn Setterington is an internationally recognised artist working in the textiles arena, her hand stitched quilts and cloths are held in many major public museums, from the V&A, Crafts Council and Whitworth Art Gallery. A celebration of the ordinary and overlooked are key themes in her work.

Lynn became known for her use of kantha embroidery in the early 1990’s and since 2010 she has  explored and promoted another overlooked genre of folk art in the form of signature cloths/quilts. This led to a wide range of socially engaged art projects with organisations  in Britain, the US, India and Bangladesh. Lynn is due to complete her practice-based PhD at UCA, Farnham in 2018, exploring stitch-based engagement with hard to reach groups.
