About Me
Hi, I'm Bríd, a Limerick based contemporary embroidery artist.
I describe my work as ‘drawing with thread on canvas’.
My work has evolved from a love of the simple sewing machine and a desire to create something unique...
The technique of freestyle machine embroidery is a modern take on a traditional craft. It involves using a basic sewing machine, dropping the feed dog and “drawing with thread on canvas”.
Layering paints, fabrics and haberdashery, these embellishments create the finished artwork. It is a fun craft which involves playing with different mediums and reflects the personality of the artist.
Where possible recycled material is used, sourced from old clothes and charity shop finds to reduce the environmental impact of using new fabrics. All products are designed and handcrafted in Ireland.
