Welcome to the quirky world of 'Trotters 'n' Pooche' designed and created by Joanne Guite Textile Designer/Maker.
Through the use of drawings, wire, textiles and stitch, she has created unique and individual pieces of work. Using her pets as the initial inspiration she has created a family of little dogs, cats, rabbits and other creatures which she has collectively named 'Pooches'. New to the collection are pigs, sheep and foxes; these are the 'Trotters'.
Each Trotter and Pooche is unique with its own personality and identity, living in a quirky world of textile and wire furniture!
All her designs are created using recycled and new materials. Some of the textiles originate from the 1970's and 80's, whilst some of the haberdashery is much earlier. The eclectic mix of contemporary and vintage materials gives her designs a fresh and unique appearance.
The quirky world of 'Trotters 'n' Pooche' is constantly developing through my observational sketches and drawings. My collection is evolving with other little creatures, pieces of furniture, collaged pictures and wall hangings.
