Amanda Cobbet

Amanda Cobbett is an award-winning textile artist with over 30 years’ experience. She trained as a printed textile designer at Chelsea College of Art (UAL), and went on to work as a fashion print designer. A move to the country and a gift of an old Bernina sewing machine enabled Amanda to finally realise her dream. Her papier-mâché and embroidered sculptures are created in her studio in the Surrey Hills. Amanda’s ‘slow textile’ process and her ability ‘to visualise in three dimensions’ have garnered interest from scientists, conservationists, art collectors and textile enthusiasts alike.
