Your teacher
Lichen Davenport
Lichen is a textile designer who graduated with a Distinction in her Master’s in Textiles from Bath Spa University in 2022. After a 20-year career designing textiles and developing trend predictions for the fashion industry, Lichen now focuses on creating unique, individually crafted pieces rooted in sustainable practice.
Motivated by the need to make changes that better support the long-term sustainability of the textiles industry, her work now explores more circular principles, embracing natural dyeing and the use of embroidery stitch as both a decorative and practical means of repair.
Your host
New Brewery Arts is Cirencester’s creative heart — a vibrant cultural charity housed in the historic buildings of the former Cirencester Brewery. After the brewery’s closure in 1937, the site fell into disuse and was nearly lost to demolition. Thanks to a visionary local group, two of the remaining buildings were restored and transformed into craft workshops, opening as Cirencester Workshops in 1978. Its mission is to champion craft — making it, learning it, and supporting the people who do it. Its courses, workshops, makers’ studios, 100% UK-made craft shop, and café all contribute to a vibrant creative hub at the heart of Cirencester.
