Welcome to my website
To me, nothing is more inspiring than a piece of calico, prepared and waiting to be transformed into something new and meaningful.
Driven by a passion for learning and mastering new techniques, and guided by a lifelong creative spirit, I have spent over 30 years developing my skills in textile art. I love not only creating new work, but also sharing the techniques behind it. My process is rooted in curiosity—constantly exploring new methods and finding ways to incorporate them into my art in unexpected and expressive ways.
It’s not just about learning new skills, but about discovering how to use them differently to create texture, depth, and unique effects.
Throughout my life, I have had the opportunity to live in several countries and learn from the cultures I encountered along the way. Each place brought new techniques, traditions, and stories. Textile art, like so many crafts, is deeply woven into our shared human history—and I believe it is something worth preserving.
Having spent many years living in Africa, I witnessed first-hand how creativity thrives in environments where people make the most of what they have. There is a strong desire to learn, to create, and to improve both surroundings and self through skill and ingenuity. In contrast, modern life in Europe often offers convenience at every turn. While this ease has its benefits, it can sometimes distance us from the satisfaction of making and creating for ourselves.
We may not be able to turn back the tide of technology, but we can choose to stay connected to the skills and knowledge passed down through generations. To practise these crafts is, in many ways, to preserve a part of our humanity.
On this site, you will find a selection of my original textile artworks, as well as print-on-demand items featuring my designs. I also share free tutorials from my YouTube channel, where I teach techniques and encourage others to explore their own creativity. You will also find a link to my first book, a beginner’s guide to free-motion embroidery.
If you are interested in commissioning a piece, have something special in mind, or have questions about any of my tutorials, please feel free to get in touch using the contact form. I would love to hear from you.
Happy browsing,
Rebecca
