ANNIE SHERBURNE

Annie has run her own business since the early 1980's and was a founding member of the International Felt makers association, and pioneer of feltmaking. She made patterned felt hats (examples of which are in the V&A and the Musee Des Modes in the Louvre in Paris)

The Felt was patterned by hand using industrial processes to create art works and textiles which were used by Jean Muir (OBE RDI) in 3 of her main collections, including the Australian bicentennial celebrations.

Annie designed and made buttons, jewellery, fashion accessories and hats for Jean Muir for 18 years.

Other examples of her work may be found in the Whitworth art gallery textile collection, the British Crafts Council collection, Kunstindustrimuseum in Trondheim Norway, The British Council jewellery collection, Lotus software HQ, HM Home office, and many other public, commercial and private collections internationally.

Annie has been incorporating environmentally friendly materials into her design work for 10 years, and has won prestigious awards for these designs and pieces.
