“Freddie Robins challenges the cultural preconceptions surrounding knit, using it as a powerful medium to unnerve, question and examine ideas around the domestic, gender and the human condition.”

Writer and curator, June Hill, writes about the work of Freddie Robins in the new Pioneer section of Embroidery magazine, volume 71, May/June 2020.

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, many artists have found themselves without work, teaching, technical support and gallery work. Exhibitions and sales have disappeared. In an attempt to help alleviate some of this stress artist, Matthew Burrows, has instigated the ARTIST SUPPORT PLEDGE. The concept is a simple one. Artists post images of their work, on instagram using the tag #artistsupportpledge, which they are willing to sell for no more than £200.00 (not including postage + packing). Anyone can buy the work. Every time an artist reaches £1000.00 of sales, they pledge to spend £200.00 on another artist/s work.
