    In 2022-2023, my work focused on how textiles connect, document, and empower communities. Alongside creating new pieces, I co-authored Crafting with a Purpose with Professor Fiona Hackney, exploring community workshops and well-being. I presented at conferences in Ghent and India, sharing research on mental health, construction, and ethical stitching practices.

    Sew Near – Sew Far is a stitch-based artwork created as part of Meeting Point2, a year-long project by Arts & Heritage. Inspired by the Brontë sisters’ signatures, the piece invites local people to add their own sewn signatures during workshops. Featured in the Brontë Museum guide, the work celebrates the Brontë bicentenaries.

    This WWI fundraiser, made in North Wales and now held at Wrexham Museum, is part of a collection of signature cloths—tactile documents rich with sewn history. Since 2010, I’ve discovered examples in museums and private collections, highlighting community engagement. Please get in touch if you have information or images.
