Community Workshops
Making environmentalism inclusive and accessible, with easy to follow workshops and embroidery tutorials. Exploring your creativity can be very empowering and rewarding, by learning a simple embroidery stitch you can refresh clothing and add to your wardrobe without buying newly produced.

Have an old item of clothing you want to give new life to? Up-cycling clothing you already own reduces textile waste going to landfill. Currently CLOSED for up-cycling and embroidery art commissions (June-August 2021).

The Conscious Blog documents all of my projects, collaborations and news. I also provide a reading list of resources for those interested in learning more about sustainable fashion.

Specialising in hand embroidery – I refresh and repair preloved clothing. Establishing an embroidered patchwork style, my contemporary works pay attention to surface, texture and colour, whilst combining traditional and modern techniques.
