About Me

I’m interested in textiles and working with fabric as I feel the quality is more interesting than paper. I prefer to draw with needle and thread rather than pen. Through experience I know hand embroidery is time consuming but the end result presents various techniques and gives a sense of involvement. I think this course is most suitable for me as I’m passionate about textiles and enthusiastic when it comes to trying new things. I know Manchester has a strong sense of heritage of industrial history of the 19th century. The city has a wide variety of architectural buildings which I can use for inspiration. When given a brief I always try to a find a way of incorporating embroidery, especially hand stitching, the detail of the surface texture can be aesthetically pleasing for the viewer.

This piece I’ve done for the Young Embroiders for a competition entitled ‘On the Move’ using my personal interest in footwear. I’ve embellished each Shoe print with high use of stitch and surface texture with beads, also taking into colour into consideration.
