Laura Edgar: Atmospheric Coastal Scenes in Textile Art
Laura Edgar is our guest today on the Stitchery Stories textile art podcast. Laura shares her life as a textile artist and tutor who is inspired by her native beautiful & dramatic Northumberland coastline. Laura loves to create her seascapes using recycled clothing and vintage textiles and trimmings, as well as applying paint, heat and stitch.
Listen as Laura shares her lifelong delight with textile art.
Susan Weeks chats with Laura about:

Being inspired by the sea How to create beautiful folds and creases in fabric Spontaneity with reverse stitching... hopefully Not a fan of Hardanger preferring less structure & formality The excitement of being included in her first book The delight of meeting others who get so excited about fabric & threads Working on commissions Getting the balance and not over-working or over-embellishing Being the eager recipient of 'button tins' donated by work colleagues Enjoying taking part in Embroiderers' Guild events, activities, competitions & exhibitions, branch, regional & nationallyFor this episode...
