Alice Kettle

Alice Kettle (born 1961) is a British contemporary textile and fiber artist.

[2] She subsequently received a series of grants and artist-in-residence awards, notably at the Canberra School of Art in Australia, and also took several part-time and visiting teaching posts.

[3] Kettle's work is focused upon stitched textiles,[4] and explores themes of cultural heritage, journeys and displacement.

[5] Her stitched works, many the size of huge figurative tapestries, exploit the textures and effects made possible through the harnessing of a mechanical process to intuitive and creative ends.

[3] Her work is represented in various public collections such as the Crafts Council in London, the Whitworth Art Gallery in Manchester, the Museo Internationale delle Arti Applicate Oggi in Turin, Italy.
