Artists to inspire you - Linda Miller

25/1/2018

0 Comments

 
This spring we're looking forward to welcoming embroiderer Linda Miller to the InStitches studio. Her densely stitched pictures have held a fascination for me for a log while and I can't wait to have a go myself!
​ 
Picture
For over 28 years Linda has been sewing one-off, framed and unframed machine embroideries and her work is exhibited throughout the UK, Europe and the USA with pieces held in the Southern Arts collection and within the permanent textile and dress collection at the Victoria and Albert Museum.
Over the two day workshop Linda will guide us through creating an original design from  a drawing, picture or a photograph that provides inspiration.  Then the fun starts when we start stitching, using a sumptuous array of threads in a variety of colours and thickness and working with the sewing machine,  to translate our original design into own very own picture of stitches.
​

As you can see from the picture, Harry and Betty have already decided that they'll make fine subjects for my embroidered picture!

So, who/what would you choose to stitch, bossy cats notwithstanding?   If you'd like to join us, and we hope you do, hop over to our web page to find out more details.
