A surprising request from a client turned textile artist Lorraine Roy’s fabric sense on its head. A recently widowed client wanted to know if she might be able to create a series of 20 artworks using her husband’s 80+ collection of internationally-collected dress shirts. Never one to turn down a challenge, she accepted - and thus began a unique and inspiring journey. Lorraine will speak about the joys and limitations of working with a set supply of patterned fabrics, how she organized the materials, and how she overcame her fear of cutting into a perfectly good shirt.
