Although I graduated with a BA(Hons) in Fine Art (painting) from West Surrey College of Art and obtained an MA Fine Art (sculpture) from the Arts University Bournemouth, I have always enjoyed working with textiles and have done so for more than 45 years.
I am a practising artist and exhibit regularly as a member of the salon group of Dorset Visual Arts and Wessex Contemporary Arts as well as in larger collective exhibitions.
"Wonderful day - welcoming, relaxed and fun
I had very little art/craft experience and with much encouragement and assistance from Imogen, came away with a picture to be proud of.
Thoroughly recommend to those with experience or none - great gift - and opportunity to meet new and interesting people"
Imogen Bittner Studio responded:
"I had a very enjoyable day helping unlock that inner creativity!
You made a beautiful piece, delicately interpreting your own vision; having limited experience only added to this.Thank you for adding to an extremely pleasant day."
"Imogen welcomed us into her lovely cottage with a beautiful wood burning fire. We set about drawing jugs and mugs. There was a huge mound of fabrics to look through for inspiration for our collage choices. Imogen also pointed things out to us in her own beautiful framed pictures. The home made cake was lovely. Thank you for making it Imogen. It was interesting to see the project that Imogen herself was working on. I’ll look forward to seeing her finished picture especially if it features the flat back which she showed us. I have come away from the day inspired by Imogen’s art and have spent most of today working on my collage. Thank you Imogen for your hospitality. "
"Imogen's welcome and her studio were both lovely and warm, on a very wet morning. We were encouraged to dive into the process, and draw from the special objects she provided. We had access to a wonderful selection of fabrics to stimulate and inspire our creativity. Imogen was able to offer us individual guidance, affirming our ideas and encouraging us to experiment with the techniques. I came away with a piece of work to develop further, and lots of ideas for future projects. Thank you Imogen. "

"Cilla,
It was a pleasure to work with you and Anna and I really enjoyed our day together and feel I picked up a lot of textile tips from you!
Your work was very accomplished and exciting and I can’t wait to see the finished pieces.
Thank you again for coming, for your feedback and for giving me such an enjoyable day!"
"I enjoyed this class very much , I came away with the confidence to produce more designs on my own. It was a very pleasant instructive day."
Imogen Bittner Studio responded:
"Thank you Fiona!
I’m glad you enjoyed the day and have some more techniques to add to the skills you already have.
It was lovely to meet you and I would love to see your piece when you have finished it.
Good luck with future projects,
Imogen."
