I specializes in Hand embroidery as a form of drawing, alongside applique and collage. Using Papier machet from pages of books combined with stitching and embroidery of vintage and worn fabrics , I create objects that can be displayed in the home and small,functional and wearable pieces.
"The form of the book and traditional story telling is a constant inspiration to my practice "
My main focus is drawing deeply embedded narrative
on each object and combining this with traditional making techniques.
"I aim to re-tell a story and give a new life to a forgotten object giving it back the
opportunity to once
again become functional.
I am passionate
about creating
unique one-off items.
Jessie regularly runs workshops specializing in embroidery at her shop and other venues in and outside London for her workshop calendar please visit the workshop page on this site
