Cheryll Kung
Textiles

I graduated in 2011 with a Degree in Contemporary Textile Practice from Cleveland College of Art and Design. As well as gaining experience in a range of textile techniques I specialized in screen print, hand and machine embroidery. This is what most of my practice is based around. I strive to bring innovation and imagery into my work.

I have exhibited and sold work at Indigo Paris, Knitting and stitching show in Harrogate, Pins & Needles craft show, illustration work published for the Cleveland Fire Brigade and Anglian Water. At present I am setting up my professional practice from the creative lodge as a freelance designer maker/illustrator.

My interiors collection ‘Streets Apart’ inspired by Hong Kong’s urban surroundings is now exhibiting at the Hartlepool Arts Centre in the ‘emerge space’ as well as a recent exhibition in Artestee Gallery in York. I also sell an additional range of products such as cards, peg doll packs and t shirts which I sell in local retail outlets and online stores.

At present I have been commissioned to design a collection of mood boards for a housing regeneration scheme developed with the Hartlepool Borough Council.

I love meeting new people and offer inspiration to others. I am gaining experience in my local community doing voluntary art works in schools and other organizations.

I am also open to new and challenging design briefs
