I inherited a rich knowledge of hand embroidery passed down through the family which was enhanced with training from some of the worlds major embroidery schools.
I specialise in hand embroidery and Irish needle lace techniques, providing couture pieces for special events and costume for stage and screen.
My silk flowers, petals and embellishments are created using traditional Japanese Somebana techniques. These are used by Couture designers and costumiers around the world.
Everything is hand crafted using traditional and modern techniques. Whether creating new embroideries, planning courses, making silk flowers or creating designs, attention to detail and the highest standard is paramount.
Where possible, I source supplies locally from the UK and Ireland. Always with a view to the environment, sustainability and a care for the labour and skill of those involved. I am a member of the Heritage Crafts Association.
We are very flexible when it comes to customisation, so if you need anything in a particular colour or design we will always be happy to help. Just message us with your request.
