Elaine Hemsley
I started embroidery classes with Anne Shearn after moving south from Liverpool.
After many years in Anne’s class studying hand embroidery techniques, I enrolled on a machine embroidery course.
I try to use both hand and machine stitching.
I also enrolled on an evening class for paper mache, which I still like doing and try to incorporate textiles and threads wherever possible.
This, along with a class doing pottery for a few years, gave me a love of making 3D pots and bowls.
Much of my inspiration comes from my travels.
I am member of both the Bromley and Sevenoaks Embroiderers’ Guilds and Blackheath Textile Artists.
