While working full time, Chris studied Embroidery City and Guilds which opened up the limitless possibilities of working creatively with a range of materials and the opportunity to meet and work with like-minded people.

Hand stitching and working with fabrics and threads is an addiction and gardening is a passion. My garden and love of plants, landscapes and the natural world provide an endless source of inspiration for my work. Recently I have been experimenting with printing, laminating and more using Procion dyes on pieces which have been stitched before dyeing.
The detail in all my pieces is achieved with a variety of hand stitches and techniques, a combination of addiction, obsession and passion.
