Freddie Robins is tutor in Constructed Textiles, Mixed Media in the Department of Textiles at the RCA. She continues her practice as an artist, producing conceptually led knitted textile pieces. She studied knitted textiles at Middlesex Polytechnic and the Royal College of Art, graduating in 1989. On graduation she established Tait & Style, a design company specialising in embroidered, knitted and felted fabrics, with fellow RCA graduate, Ingrid Tait, working for 8 years, designing fashion and furnishing accessory collections and marketing them world wide.
Changing her practice in 1997, she has concentrated on producing conceptually led knitted textile pieces. In 1998 she received a Crafts Council Setting Up Award and in 1999 received a London Arts Award to produce a large scale knitted work.
In 2002 she was shortlisted for the Jerwood Applied Arts Prize: Textiles and had her first major solo exhibition, ‘Cosy’, at firstsite in Colchester. In 2003 she went to Bangladesh to take part in the Britto International Artists’ Workshop and in 2004 to Berlin to do a residency with Herrmann + Wagner (formerly Galerie sphn).
In 2005 she curated ‘Knit 2 Together: Concepts in Knitting’ for the Crafts Council and “Ceremony” at the Pump House Gallery, Battersea Park, London.
She has exhibited extensively within the UK, as well as in Germany, Sweden, Netherlands, Denmark, Austria and Bangladesh. Her work is also in the collections of the Victoria & Albert Museum, Crafts Council, Aberdeen Art Gallery and Nottingham Castle Museum and she is represented in London by Contemporary Applied Arts.
