Al Bates

Overview

Al Bates is a London based artist, originally from North Yorkshire. She graduated in May 2021 from the Edinburgh College of Art, achieving a First-Class BA Honour’s in Textile Design, specialising in print.

 

Al's textile work aims to utilise various fabrics as a space for comfort and growth, in the context of the home. Her practice is rooted in an awareness and consideration of the ethical impacts of the textiles industry, and she thrives to work sustainably to produce pieces that leave no waste. Combining various techniques such as knit, quilting and embroidery, her unique approach juxtaposes textures to create modern and distinctive artworks that are hand crafted and one of a kind.
