Trained as a theatre designer, Tony worked in and around London for some 18 years setting up, managing and running creative workshops within schools and across the rest of the community as coordinator for Cloth of Gold (London, U.K.) before moving to Cornwall in 2004. Now, as Cloth of Gold South West, he is specialising in projects across the region that explore the link between traditional textile processes and creative oportunities now available through the use of new technology. Recent schools, community and training projects have resulted in the production of hundreds of square metres of digitally and traditionlly printed fabric banners that have decorated Cornwall and Devon both inside and outside.
