New Readers

Hello and welcome to TextileArtist.org. We’re Joe and Sam Pitcher, sons of stitch artist Sue Stone.

What is TextileArtist.org all about?

We want TextileArtist.org to be an invaluable resource for stitch artists and practitioners working with mixed media techniques, including embroidery, print, crochet, appliqué and quilting. But we also want to include those of you who aren’t necessarily artists yourselves, but have a passion for the diverse medium of textile art or enjoy experimenting with fiber and fabrics as a hobby.

TextileArtist.org is a place to be inspired by some of the world’s most prolific textile and stitch artists; learn from the best, find out what’s going on in the world of textiles and promote events, exhibitions, talks, workshops and book releases.

Below is some of our top content to get you started.

Be inspired

We launched the site with a series of interviews and contributions from some of the world’s leading textile and fiber artists. These have proved so popular that they have become the heart of TextileArtist.org.

Discover the stories of renowned textile artists. Hear about their background and early influences and what led them to experimenting with stitch, fabric and fiber. Learn about what or who inspires them today. Gain an insight into their practises, chosen medium and the textile art techniques they use to create their work.

These are some of our favourite and most inspirational interviews.

Learn the ropes

We’re really fortunate that some of the best and most celebrated contemporary artists working with textiles have shared their expertise with us and our readers. And what’s more, the resource is constantly growing thanks to their generosity. Whether you’re suffering from artist’s block and need some strategies for overcoming it, you’re not sure how to price your textile art, or you need help with a more technical aspect of your work, we’re hoping to have it all covered.

If you have a specific question you’d like answering in an article or a topic you think might be of interest, get in touch and let us know your ideas here – we’d love to hear them.

Stay informed

We’ll keep you up to date with the latest book releases and exhibitions via the newsletter (sign up for free here) and our reviews section. We’ve also got lots of suggestions for great resources. We’ll cover training for stitch artists and practitioners working with textile techniques. We’ll take a look at magazines and books to inspire and educate you in your work. And we’ll give our recommendations for top products and supplies used by the most successful and prolific contemporary textile and fiber artists.
