Social engagement is a key part of Claire’s practice. Her projects are often community-based and explore the ways that place, heritage and memory can connect people to their surrounding environment. Some of Claire's work will be part of the Homeground touring exhibition which will visit towns and cities whose football club origins are associated with a different craft industry.

The cycles of growth and renewal and all the repetitions that accompany them are about to start again. Sowing, planting, nurturing, processing, dyeing and stitching.
