Real-time embroidery using a variety of techniques, including Luneville hook, needle-based beading, and fabric manipulation. I work on a small embroidery frame, allowing audiences to observe the stitching process up close and ask questions as I go.
Ideal for exhibitions, fairs, and open studio events.
Embroidery Demonstrations and Artist Talks
Looking to offer your audience a deeper understanding of hand embroidery and textile art?
I provide embroidery demonstrations and artist talks UK for events, exhibitions, universities,
and creative groups—both across the UK and online.
These sessions combine visual storytelling, traditional techniques, and modern perspectives
to connect audiences with the craft in a direct and engaging way
What I Offer
I speak about my practice as a contemporary embroidery and textile artist—from exploring heritage techniques like Russian pearl embroidery to applying them in modern fashion and art contexts. These hand embroidery presentations can include visual slides, physical samples, and informal Q&A sessions.
Also available as embroidery lectures in the UK for university and college programmes.
Ideal for universities, creative groups, and event organisers. This format combines a structured textile art talk with a live embroidery demonstration, offering both practical insight and artistic context.
