About
Rebecca Bruton is a textile fibre artist based in a small market town in South Somerset, UK. She specialises in free motion embroidery and appliqué to create her intricate artwork. Textiles is her passion; it was sparked by her grandmother and her magical treasure trove of fabrics and haberdashery that always fascinated her as a child.
Rebecca studied BA Hons Fine Art Sculpture and a PGCE in Art Education at Bath Spa University. Rebecca was awarded the 'Somerset Art Works Emerging Artist 2018' award. Rebecca now exhibits nationally; has been featured in multiple publications and has been invited to contribute to several global projects. She is a member of the 'Society for Embroidered Work' and is an avid supporter of the 'Just a Card' campaign.
