I had the pleasure of giving a talk about my work at Birmingham Embroidery Textile Art group recently.
BETA is full of very talented textile artists and sew-ers; they enjoyed hearing about how I translate my painting work through into textile art and embroidery.
I also explained my surface pattern design process and how pattern makes it’s way into everything I do.
A group like this also loves a sketchbook which is very pleasing to me – a lot of my sketchbooks are teaming with textile and embroidery development work that no-one really ever see’s so it was very gratifying to notice people combing through them.
Looking through all my past work reunited me with some of my textile past and re-lit a small flame to do more sewing again.
