Saffron Paffron

I am a textile artist, seamstress, costume maker, singer and street-theatre performer. My work is grounded in my early training as a specialist loose-cover maker. Later, after I re-trained as a performer and co-founded Theatre of Adventure, the ability to work with fabric in three dimensions was applied to my costume making, becoming sculptural and surreal in style and form. Combined with a childhood surrounded by creative parents, and setting up Paffron & Scott with husband Luke, these early skills have progressed into my playful and original decorative textile pieces. My long-standing zeal for re-cycling and re-inventing and my passion for vintage textiles, functional artwork, and the celebration of traditional, almost lost, needlework are at the heart of my current textile work.
