Recently I was awarded the Runners Up at the 2025 Fabric of Life show.
The Judges said:
“A decadent theatrical feast for the eyes with unusual choices of preloved materials… who would have thought of an oven mitt as the centre piece for a hat?
Claire highlighted being a true ‘bower bird’, collecting and combing colour and nostalgia. She made a statement of sustainable glamour with a ‘wink’ of playful excess and a unique use of a reflective necklace all connecting fashion, history, POP Art style, and creative sustainability. A truly worthy winner!”
