Work by Claire, alongside pieces by other international artists, demonstrates how a less-is-more approach can produce stunning textile art that is more personal and meaningful. 

Ideas for working with local materials, repurposing old textiles, natural dyeing and using hand-stitch and other traditional techniques can bring a more thoughtful approach to your textiles practice. 

Practical projects such as stitch journals, mapping local walks in stitch and found objects, and working with other will inspire those looking to reconnect with their craft, local culture and heritage.
