Experimental stitching


Stitched detail of wings embedded in clay with under glaze and semi-matt cream dragged over the design. You can see almost every stitch and the fabric imprint. The process is like etching a copper plate.

Modern Girl

I just love my 1968 New Home sewing machine. Blast that foot pedal.

Welcome


Splatter Platter. Machine embroidery embedded into terracotta clay creates this amazing effect on platter, glazed with oxides and under glazes. Despite the 'nature' of this design it is food safe!
