Pat Hardie, Fabric Artist & Photographer

Fabric art, photography and the adventure of ‘upcycling’ featuring men’s ties and other recycled clothing.  Decorative as well as functional.  Wall hangings, fabric photos, digital watercolour photographs, totes/bags, jackets, fabric bowls, fish tiles...

As a retired secondary school teacher I now have the time to indulge my artistic pursuits in colour and texture.  The dilemma of form vs function continues to influence my direction whether in photography, ceramics, or fabric.  But it’s the love of creating from otherwise unwanted materials that spurs my imagination.
