Welcome to this special edition of The Grateful Web: Rogue Studios 30@30 celebrating 30 years of Rogue Artists’ Studios in Manchester.

Today I’m joined by Julie Cassels a multidisciplinary artist whose practice explores textiles, clothing, and the way fabric has been depicted and reinterpreted throughout art history. Working with photography transferred onto fabric, paper, and aluminium, Julie’s series-based works are not displayed behind glass but rather exhibited to embrace the materiality of their surfaces

After an early career as a Systems Analyst in England and New Zealand, Julie graduated with a degree in Visual Arts from Salford in 2004 and an MA in Textiles and Fashion at MMU in 2005. Since then, she’s exhibited widely in the UK, Europe, and New Zealand.

Her work appears in ‘Everyday Delight’ a Shutter Hub Editions publication and her practice is discussed in the book ‘Reframing Photography – Theory and Practice’, published by Routledge.

She has been a finalist in the GM Arts prize 2019, the Women in Art Prize and in The Eve Arnold Photography Prize Category, in both 2024 and 2025.
