2023 Mentoring Program
Genre: Textile Arts

Christine Lethlean has been a practicing textile artist for 35 years and is known for her unique use of preloved textiles and rudimentary stitch as an art form. Christine’s work is diverse and is driven by her interest in the confluence of artistic disciplines, techniques, and ideas. Motivated by the impacts of living in a throw-away society, her art practice is underpinned by a ‘recycling philosophy’, consistently testing her ability to reclaim and incorporate discarded fabrics and fibres into her work. Christine is both tutor and mentor and manages a working studio, open to the public from her home base in Clunes. She facilitates classes and workshops across Victoria and interstate. She is also the regional coordinator of the annual Textile Palette Exhibition.
