Hand Embroidery Artists you HAVE to Follow

If you’ve been following our Inspirational Artists series you’ll know how this works. In a bid to inspire and delight we’ve trawled the web and social media platforms like Instagram to share with some great artists and makers. And we have some truly groundbreaking, innovative and breathtaking work to share with you today. 

Hand Embroidery was once associated with the elderly; a hobby for mature women. We probably all remember our mothers and grandmothers smocking our dresses and churning out embroidered hankies and cross-stitched greeting cards. However, thanks largely to the craft revolution there are thousands of artists, crafters and independent makers who are excelling at exhibiting their own work and living off commissions. These are just some of our favourites who are continually raising the bar with their creativity.  

Don’t forget to check out our previous posts in our Inspirational Artists series:  Knitting & Crochet ArtistsArtists Inspired by NaturePortrait Artistsand Patchwork & Quilt artists you have to follow. Or check out our latest video for a quick run down of the artists we’re going to cover.
