Nowshin Prenon is a Textile Artist, specializing in woven textile design, blending traditional techniques
with modern innovations. Her process investigates both digital explorations and expressive winding
techniques. Nowshin is interested in the relationship between color and form, which she uses to
create layered textiles. Playing with line and color in different order of thread through wrapping allows
her to construct intricate artwork. The focus of her work is to share knowledge through craft. Nowshin
uses her woven work and its process to advocate winding as an art form. To encourage the learning
and passing of the skills of traditional crafts, she raises awareness through running workshops.

‘’As a textile artist, I explore my Bangladeshi cultural heritage through color, architectural forms, food, and
festivals. My work explores the endless possibilities of color, form, and texture through the process of
winding. I am fascinated by how different thread arrangements can transform simple materials into
complex visual experiences. For me, the winding technique is not just a craft; it is a form of storytelling, one
that connects us to the past while allowing us to innovate for the future. Through my art, I aim to advocate
for winding as an expressive medium and share my skills with others to elevate this technique into an art
form.’’
