The World of Embroidery

Some highlights from the January 2000 issue...


In The Forging of an Artist, we examine the influences on the work of Janet Ledsham
which have led her to become one of our foremost textile artists.
See the full text and some illustrations online.


We also look at the work of Clare McCarroll, one of Janet's students,
who discusses the effect Janet has on her work.


In Kids' Stuff, Sheila Paine takes us to Namibia and
considers the work of various self-help groups
producing embroideries for the western market.


Introducing our new series Master Class, Carol Naylor explains
some advanced machine embroidery techniques.
