Brixtol Textiles Textile Art Scholarship '26

In 2022, we established a biennial scholarship for textile art — a space to support artistic exploration beyond the boundaries of fashion.

Every two years, a selected artist is awarded the scholarship and given the opportunity to create a unique body of work using deadstock fabrics from our production. The resulting work is showcased in Stockholm.

2026 Recipient: Alice Shulman

“Peripheral Emotions”

“Peripheral Emotions” is an exploration of material and emotion, where textile and glass meet in a series of nine installations.

Working across disciplines, Alice Shulman approaches textile as both structure and surface — allowing it to interact with glass in ways that highlight tension, fragility, and transformation.

Drawing from Brixtol Textiles’ archive of fabrics, each installation is centred around a distinct emotional state.

Through the meeting of soft and rigid materials, the works form an organic whole — a landscape shaped by contrasts, where transparency, weight, and movement coexist.

“I have been interested in how materials can carry and express emotion. In this project, I explore the relationship between glass and textile — two materials with very different properties — and how they can come together to create something both fragile and strong. Each installation represents a specific emotional state, but together they form a larger narrative about complexity and coexistence.”

Alice Shulman studied at Beckmans College of Design in Stockholm and Central Saint Martins in London.

She is part of the creative platform Emotional Landscape, developed in collaboration with Finnish glassblower Eino Mäkelä.
