About Chris Webb
Chris Webb is curator, educator and maker who primarily works with textiles, with an emphasis on slow-making and hand stitching. Chris grew up ‘crafty’, learning quilting and patchwork skills from his Great Aunt, and has since used craft as a tool for slowing down and making meaning in an increasingly digital world.
Chris employs a curiosity and materials-led approach that invites participants to respond intuitively, trialling and testing new techniques to suit their creative ideas. The main focus of his work is patchwork and quilting, but his portfolio also draws on embroidery, weaving, tapestry, surface design, fabric dying and printing.
Recently, Chris has expanded his interest in materials-led activity, by exploring the connections between sensory experience, slow making and neurodivergence. He has developed new workshops that explore making and ‘unmaking’ with a wide range of materials, with an emphasis on touch, play and experimentation.
