Curated by Lola Bennett
Lola Bennett is a final year Creative Arts Practice student at Bath Spa University who curated and proposed Stray threads and Sludge for the Fringe Arts Bath Festival 2023. Her practice is focused on the notion of craft and breaking hierarchies through crafting within art. She explores these themes through ceramics and textiles, and involves other disciplines. Lola’s work consists of large-scale installations such as a collection of multiple objects, while quilting places a central role in her work. Her background in fashion and crafts has led her to conduct multidisciplinary practices.
