Lesley Illingworth

Lesley Illingworth uses her technical knowledge and skills in hand embroidery to create innovative and contemporary work for interiors.

Inspired by the needlework tools and equipment used to teach hand embroidery to children, the work uses quilting and hand embroidery to recreate tactile panels as illustrations for teaching. Raised work and drawn thread combine to create three dimensional characters to convey the story.
