LISA BENNETT - IN THE MAKING APRONS - "It all started with a denim cross back apron made to wear whilst doing my own artwork. I opened an online shop and soon got enquiries from artists, potters and makers about customisations and became entirely focused on these specialist workwear aprons.
I completed my Art Foundation at Oxford Brookes University followed by a BA Degree in Fashion Design from Kingston University, later studying Experimental Illustration professional development course at University of the Arts London (UAL London College of Communication). Following art college I worked in the music industry for 10 years then a couple of years in book publishing before resuming design & illustration work, mainly appliqué/embroidery/print for childrenswear, but also prop making and craft tutorials/workshops.
