About Lynn
Lynn Setterington is an internationally recognised artist working in the textiles arena. Her work explores stitch as an alternative means of communication and how communities can work together. Her PhD from UCA, Farnham, builds on this to investigate the hidden values and tensions in stitch-based engagement including the intertwining of the ethical and aesthetic.
Her hand-stitched quilts and cloths are held in many major public museums including the V&A, Crafts Council, IQSC and Whitworth Art Gallery. In the 1990’s she became known for her use of kantha embroidery and quilts. Since 2010 she has explored an overlooked aspect of social history and folk art in the form of signature cloths. This involves work with groups in the US, India, Bangladesh and the UK.
