Fine Artist, Stephanie Smart. Wednesday 12 November 2025, 7pm UK

Stephanie Smart is a fine artist who makes life-sized garments entirely from paper and thread. They are created using free-machine embroidery, hand-stitching, drawing and applied decoration. Every piece is accompanied by detailed research and is inspired by historical fashion and social and national history from different eras as well as the stories and memories of individuals.

Her most recent collection The Regency Wardrobe was exhibited at several British museums including the Royal Pavilion, Brighton and selected objects will be on display at Jane Austen's house in Chawton from 9 September-18 November 2025.

In this talk Stephanie will describe the background to her work with paper textiles and her establishment of The House of Embroidered Paper, which she describes as part fashion house, part fine art studio. She will show images of pieces from The Regency Wardrobe and describe their inspiration and her working practice. Stephanie’s ambition for every piece of work is that it be: aesthetically beautiful, technically ambitious and intellectually interesting.

Stephanie is currently working with RSN degree students on Weaving Silk Stories a new project in partnership with the independent charity Historic Royal Palaces, which is due to launch in 2027.
