Jane Walkley is an artist based in Leeds, West Yorkshire. She uses traditional tapestry, mould making and casting techniques to create site-specific sculptural pieces that explore the relationship between people and industrial heritage. Her work highlights the emotional and physical connections that bind communities to their past, exploring themes of memory, loss, and regeneration. Jane pays particular attention to how regeneration either uplifts or overlooks the communities it touches.
An active member of The 62 Group and the British Tapestry Group, Jane studied for a BA (Hons) in Crafts specialising in ceramics and woven textiles at Manchester Metropolitan University in 1993 and later earned an MA in Creative Practice from Leeds Arts University in 2019.
Jane also mentors, gives workshops, and welcomes exciting and ambitious collaborations with heritage sites, galleries and publications.
