Allison Riddell

After teaching young children a range of skills in arts and crafts, Allison now finds she is able to extend her own skills and explore new techniques. She endeavours to produce work which involves the interaction of colour and texture and which exploits chance and 'accident'. She takes her inspiration from the natural world, but is constantly reminded of the use of pattern - in both nature and our man-made environment.
