Hello. I am a freelance embroidery designer based in London (Honours graduate of Glasgow School of Art 2006)
My portfolio includes fashion and interior concepts, costume and prop pieces plus illustrative embroidery for sale and exhibition.
I often do one-off commissions and would love to hear from you...
Currently, I am developing products for my online shop and beyond, plus some one-off commissions. I'd like to do more small commissions, please do get in touch...
I have recently been featured on the wonderful website This is Naive. The photo story is a work day in the life of me, from Tommy's very special eye view. www.thisisnaive.com/?p=2894
At the moment I'm working on a range of T- shirts and a small run of lace jewelry for my online shop and hopefully some stockists here and abroad.
I am contributing a piece for an exhibition later this year at a beautiful new gallery in Norfolk called The Cold Press.
Next year, I am to be featured in a book published by Thames & Hudson. The book is to feature artists and designers working in various hand-made media, focusing on the stages of design from conception to finality.
In June 2011 I will be leading a 5 day embroidery workshop at Les Soeurs Anglaises in the south of France. 'Creative embroidery: learning to observe'.
Plus, ongoing designing of embroidery concepts and one-off commissions.
