“The Moons wisdom has a hidden seed in every human heart.”

Corinne Hockley

Corinne is a mixed-media textile artist with a background in costume and stage design. A member of the Gloucestershire Guild of Crafts and based in the textile studio at Stroud Valleys Artspace. She creates intricately stitched and embellished narrative pieces, exploring themes of freedom and constraint, ritual and romance – reflecting archetypes and the fragility of life. A red thread often runs through her work, in which you are likely to encounter paper corsets, caged wings, dancing shoes and roses made from the pages of old fairy tales. Often incorporated are the tools and motifs associated with the age-old practice of making textiles - scissors, spindles, pins and thimbles...

Corinne also invents magical textile installations and costumes for performance - pushing the boundaries of textiles through exciting cross-arts collaborations.
