A course by Tatiana Nedialkova
Tatiana Nedialkova studied literature at the University of Sofia, despite her desire to study art. It was when she moved to the UK that her journey as an artist began. She studied Fine Art Contemporary Practices in Devon, and her world as an artist began to unravel. She describes these years as “the best years an artist can wish for.” She went on to study Fine Art at the Chelsea College of Art and Design in London.
In 2016, she started her own company, Softer and Wild, where she combines her designs with textile products. The company has different collections that include kitchen towels, napkins, table runners, oven gloves, cushion covers, aprons, and more.
