Art is not paint on board. Art is a feeling. Art is an emotion. Art is an experience. The materials used to make art are irrelevant. Bravo ladies! Well done!
Thank you so much! I'm so glad you enjoyed the video. you can find more from this brilliant organisation - www.societyforembroideredwork.com/ - Katie :)
OMG. Embroidery is an amazing art! Creative stitching, either machine or hand is a fine art! Needless to say I am a textile artist that loves creative hand and machine work!
Thank you Declan and thank you SELWAT :) I'm always interested in artists for my "Meet the Artist" portfolio of videos. If your members are interested, please get in touch :). Katie
Watching this it struck me the OTHER sense being employed is TOUCH...whereas I would never WANT to touch a drawing or painting Textiles (and no I would never touch an exhibited piece either) but it involves touch perhaps , texture, we RESPOND to it with MORE senses than we would to a painting...my 2 cents...
Thank you for your comment 🙏 And I agree that texture is a very important part of textile art - some textile exhibitions I’ve recently attended have included a wall of ‘handling samples’ 😊👍
Thank you Jacqueline, I’m so glad you enjoyed it! You can find out about the Society’s members by visiting the website www.societyforembroideredwork.com/. Thank you for watching - Katie : )

Thank you for your comment - The embroidery sounds wonderful. I suggest contacting a local textile group to yourself so it can be shared. The Society for embroidered work also have their own website if you wish to contact them directly. Thank you for watching - Katie : )
