Fibre Artist, Ruth Norbury, is very conscious of h

Fibre Artist, Ruth Norbury, is very conscious of her impact on the earth. She knows that the clothing and textiles industry is one of the largest polluters and therefore creates pieces made entirely from recycled materials.⁠
⁠
But there is another reason.⁠
⁠
Ruth is an embroidery artist fascinated by themes of urban decay: The sociological process by which previously functioning city, falls into disrepair. ⁠
⁠
The heavily used, torn, sun-bleached materials she uses helps to portray the feeling of once loved and used, but now abandoned.⁠
⁠
If you're interested in exploring how traditional embroidery techniques can be used in unconventional ways then this interview with Ruth is a MUST! ⁠

One of our recent graduates - Lis Stewart - has some great advice to new students who might be considering studying with us! ⁠
⁠
"If you are looking for a stitching course, I would highly recommend SOFST. Stage 2 gives you a broad grounding in so many aspects of Hand Embroidery so you can see what you like and what you don’t. The school are supportive throughout, the tutors are highly qualified and you can fit it around your other commitments as there are no set times to be somewhere or do something. Obviously, there are deadlines but these are flexible.⁠
⁠
My advice to you if you are a new student or thinking about doing a course is simply to go for it! Enjoy the challenge of learning what amazing things you can do with a needle and thread."⁠
