Zoë Hillyard’s Ceramic Patchwork merges textile Zoë Hillyard’s Ceramic Patchwork merges textile artistry with traditional mending techniques, reviving discarded ceramics through the delicate craft of hand-stitched patchwork. By wrapping broken ceramic fragments in printed fabric and reassembling them solely with stitch, she transforms once-functional objects into unique decorative vessels. The result is a striking interplay of texture and form, where the softness of textiles contrasts with the rigid history of the ceramics beneath. Take a look at her amazing art and discover why she is a #TextileSculptor you HAVE to follow. 👀 https://www.sofst.org/10-textile-sculptors-you-have-to-follow/ 👉 Link in bio (blog) ---- @ceramicpatchwork #3dfibre #3dfiber #3dfibreart #fibreartists #textileart #textileartists #contemporaryart #stitchersofinstagram #needlework #textileinspiration #modernneedlework #creativestitchers #embroideryinstaguild #textilesculptors #textilesculpture #embroideryart #fiberart #sculpture #softsculpture #texturalart
