We have put together the images below to celebrate International Women's Day 2024 and recognise the fantastic accomplishments of women.
"This artwork captures the essence of the artisan women community from the Muong Ethnicity in Vietnam, renowned for their mastery in traditional weaving techniques. Through their artistry, they transform cotton into vibrant brocade textiles, emphasizing sustainability. The inclusion of hares imbues the piece with a touch of magic, symbolizing the harmonious collaboration between humanity and nature in the craft's creation."
"I chose to do a piece featuring my daughter and grandchildren who have just moved from Bristol to begin a new life here in Cornwall, just as my grandson completes his first year on the planet. As a single mum who has experienced all kinds of tribulations over the last couple of years while keeping her family safe and well, I can't think of a stronger woman in my own world to represent International Women's Day."
