FROM ART TO HAND EMBROIDERY



About
As an Embroidery Atelier, one of my many skills is to take fine art paintings and turn them into embroidered tapestries.  

I believe art deserves to live beyond the canvas. 
My passion as a Royal School of Needlework trained embroiderer is in taking original works of art and reimagining them through the timeless craft of hand embroidery, tapestry and rug-making. Each stitch is placed with care, capturing the colours, textures and emotions of the artist's vision in a way that feels both familiar and entirely new. 

I collaborate directly with artists, ensuring their unique style and spirit remains at the heart of every hand embroidered piece. The result is a one-of-a-kind artwork that blends fine art with fine craftmanship.

"A fusion of paint to thread, canvas to fabric"

Embroidery Service Offered

APPLIQUE' EMBROIDERY

Fabric pieces are sewn onto a base fabric and embellished with decorative stitches. This creates layered, colourful designs with depth and texture.

BEAD EMBROIDERY

The art of stitching beads onto a base fabric from lace netting to the thickest denims and tweeds, to create rich textured designs. Each bead is sewn by hand allowing intricate patterns and jewel-like detail to emerge.

BLACKWORK EMBROIDERY

A striking monochrome style, traditionally stitched in black thread on white fabric. It uses geometric and repeating patterns to create intricate designs.

CONTEMPORARY/ MODERN TAPESTRY

Artists who wish to experiment with unconventional materials, abstract designs and bold textures. This can be followed through with using a variety of different 'thread' and fabric mediums, giving theses unique pieces a focus on creativity and expression rather than tradition or convention.

CREWEL EMBROIDERY

A historic form of embroidery using pure wool thread on linen or cotton. Known for its bold, textured look, it often features in floral and nature-inspired motifs of the 17th century.

CROSS-STITCH

One of the oldest forms of embroidery, using cross stitches on an even-weaved fabric. It produces a pixel-like effect, perfect for detailed patterns.

HAND EMBROIDERY

Stitching designs entirely by hand, using a needle, thread and fabric.

GOLDWORK EMBROIDERY

A luxurious technique using metallic threads of gold, silver or copper, to create shimmering designs. Historically linked with royalty, regalia and ceremonial garments.

LATCH HOOK RUGS

Using pure wool and a 4 or 5 holes to the inch mesh canvas, latch hook rugs create a tufted, shaggy pile rug surface that lend itself to big, bold and colourful designs for floor rugs and wall hangings.

NEEDLEPOINT TAPESTRY

Created with hand-stitching on canvas using pure wool, pure cotton or pure silk thread dependent upon the size (from 20 holes to one inch to 10 holes to one inch) of the hole of the background canvas. Particularly when using pure wool, this style has a textured, cosy look and is often used for cushions, upholstery and smaller wall hangings.

PUNCH NEEDLE EMBROIDERY AND RUGS

Through pushing loops of pure wool thread into a fabric backing (usually monk's cloth or linen), the thread stays in place due to the fabric weave and tension, not knots. This creates a looped, flat 'woven' surface depending on the clients preference of it being trimmed or left. A carpet backing adhesive provides durability for rugs that will receive foot wear.

SILK SHADING (NEEDLE PAINTING)

Also called 'Thread painting', this technique uses long and short stitches with subtle colour changes to create lifelike, painterly effects, very much like oil painting with pure silk thread.

STUMPWORK

A raised or 3D form of embroidery that uses padding, wire, ceramic and jewel inserts to create designs that literally stand out from the fabric.

TAMBOUR EMBROIDERY

Created with a fine hook (like a tiny crotchet needle) instead of a standard sewing needle. Known for delicate chain stitches, often seen in haute couture and luxury textiles.

TAPESTRY APPLIQUE'

Large-scale fabric collage panels, designed to look like a tapestry. Textile art made by layering fabrics to form pictures. Different pieces of fabric are layered and stitched down to with the stitching more functional rather than decorative. Often used for wall hangings, banners or large pictorial works.
