Debbie Siniska ~ textile artist, maker, author and teacher

I am a rag rug maker and feltmaker, and have had my work exhibited in the V&A museum, I was commissioned by Tate Britain to create eight Bloomsbury style rag rugs, to coincide with an important exhibition of Bloomsbury art, and also by Charleston, bohemian home of the artists Vanessa Bell and Duncan Grant, and meeting place of the literary and art group of the 1920’s the Bloomsbury set, when I created a facsimile of an old Bloomsbury style rug, that now lies in John Maynard Keynes bedroom at Charleston, which is open to the public.

I appeared on channel 4 TV on Kirstie’s Homemade Home, along with Kirstie Allsopp, and published my book *Rag Rugs Old into New* to coincide with the screening ~ my work has been featured in the Times and Telegraph national newspapers, and many how-to craft books.

I teach at West Dean College of Art ans Restoration, and ran my ‘Eco Art’ after school sessions in 12 primary schools in Kent and East Sussex ~ I was televised by BBC South East.

My work has sold to celebrities, and in Australia, Ireland and Italy.

I work to commission from my studio in East Sussex, and supply a small number of galleries with my work.

I will run a pop- up workshop, if you have a venue..
