I make quirky hand embroidered tea cosies, purses, hang bags and badges. I sketch with the sewing machine, working direct from my drawings to produce unique pieces from fine, found and vintage fabrics. My work is colourful and polka-dot, floral and striped fabrics all find their way into my designs. I studied textiles at University College Falmouth and Winchester School of Art and after graduating spent several years working with women’s cooperatives in Central America. I returned to Cornwall in 2003 where I was born and grew up, and am now based in a shared studio overlooking Newlyn Harbour and St Michaels Mount. In the future I hope to combine my experience with women’s cooperatives with the work I am doing now. Price range: £5- £200 |
