Byzantium

I am an embroiderer from a village in Lancashire. I love to work with silk fibres and velvet, and I especially love machine-embroidery.I acheived a Highly Commended award in the Medals for Excellence for my City & Guilds Part 2 in 1997. My work has been exhibited mainly in galleries in the North of England, and Ireland. This piece is inspired by Byzantine Art and was exhibited at the Bankfield Museum in Halifax in the Embroiderers Guild Exhibition 'The Riches of Stitches' where it received a commendation from the judges.
