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:

  • The fascination of the back of embroidery
  • Looking forward to some creative playtime
  • Oh, the delights of Jumble Sales & astrakhan coats!
  • 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 & nationally
