BRIDGETOWN ARTISTS

Cassi Jo Davis
Textile Artist
This collection of work by textile artist Cassi-Jo Davis includes a couture clothing range, upcycled antique furniture and Textile Fine Art. The theme is Verte (Green) and is about homes, gardens and growth; what it means as a woman to come home to self. This year Cassi-Jo opens her studio at home, a 100+ year old weather board cottage with a green roof and a green studio nestled in lush green gardens, protected under the arms of the most incredible ancient oak tree. It has been renovated with a green ethos. Only using antique salvaged materials, much like her textile art and clothing range.

Disha Davison
Nuno Felter
A lifelong fascination with fabrics led Disha to felting. The sheen and softness of the silk and the strength and warmth of fine wool combine to make an elegant and unique fabric. Disha enjoys the physicality of the process and the way that even with design and planning the end result is an organic unknown outcome.

Isobel Macaulay
Seamstress
Isobel creates within her shop/studio, Slow Grow Project, reflecting ‘When we slow, we feel. When we feel, we heal. When we heal, we grow.’ Her philosophy is to create slow, beautiful, imperfect pieces that keep the connection with slow practices, nature and simple living. Isobel sews beautiful linen into functional, inclusive clothing; she stitches off-cut linens, vintage silks into mending patches; she naturally hand dyes with foraged plants; she hand dips local beeswax into beautiful candles and on occasion weaves baskets from overgrown plants. She creates in the way that feels right at the time.
