Els’ surface design techniques are widely celebrated and her large scale art-cloth pieces have won many awards. Els has published numerous books and her artworks are displayed in museums and private collections around the world.

Cherilyn is a practising mixed media artist and teacher who continues to explore surface, pushing the boundaries of material and techniques to create complex surfaces.

The two artists are celebrating 25 years of collaboration within their gallery at The Festival this year, and their mutual love of surface design and embroidery will form the basis of their illustrated talk.
