Tuesday Riddell, Decorative Surfaces Fellow and BA (Hons) Fine Art graduate, has been featured in the latest edition of Crafts magazine.
Interviewed by Isabella Smith, Tuesday shares her inspirations and the detailed stages of japanning, using processes that date back to the 17th century.
‘Riddell discovered the technique in 2018 during a Painter Stainers’ Decorative Fellowship at City & Guilds of London Art School, which she signed up to after completing a bachelor’s degree in fine art painting… “Japanning is endangered: it’s not taught much, except on a few conservation courses. The fellowship brings life into techniques that aren’t really used anymore”’.
Check out the full interview in Issue 296 of Crafts magazine.
This summer, Tuesday will be showing 20 works at her solo exhibition, including her largest work to date. Visit ‘In Shadows’ at Messums London, from 14 July – 13 August.
