Multi-award winning Hand Embroidery Artist Lucy Martin…
“I grew up in the idyllic countryside of the Peak District surrounded by gorgeous natural beauty. I’ve been stitching for as long as I can remember. When I was a girl I would help my mum make everything from curtains to wedding dresses and I absolutely loved it. I’ve always known I wanted to work with textiles, so I began studying Textiles and Fashion. As I was working, it quickly became clear to me that my favourite part was creating the embroidery and embellishments that I was applying onto my garments. After a visit to the Royal School of Needlework when I was 14, I knew that hand embroidery was what I wanted to do and I would do anything to make that happen.
Fast forward a few years years and I have had the privilege of working on some of the most amazing projects, creating pieces for the most incredible clients.
For me, the opportunity to share my passion for embroidery with others is part of my mission to help preserve and maintain the craft for future generations.
I am currently based in the beautiful London suburb of Kingston Upon Thames, a short walk from Hampton Court Palace, a perfect balance between the city and the gorgeous countryside which surrounded me growing up.
