British

Bethan Ash is a British textile artist, living and working in Neath, South Wales. She is a professional quilt maker and teacher, with a background in fashion design. She has exhibited widely and her work has been bought by museums, in the UK and the USA, including the Museum of Arts and Design, in New York.
