Walford Mill Crafts have many talented artists and makers amongst its staff members. In the lead up to the exhibition Walford Mill Crafts will be putting the spotlight on each specially selected ‘Mill Maker’ featuring the work of eight very different disciplines including silk weaving, embroidery, photography, jewellery and printmaking.
On the 28th November 2013 from 5:30-8:00pm, Walford Mill Crafts would be delighted if you could join them for a very special late night opening as all of the ‘Mill Makers’ will be selling and some will be demonstrating, there will be entertainment, PLUS 10% off everything you buy.
Meet the Maker: Jen Goodwin - Hand Embroiderer
21st - 27th October 2013
Walford Mill Crafts newest resident maker Jen Goodwin graduated from the Royal School of Needlework in 2003 and has been embroidering professionally ever since.
In 2011 Jen was lucky enough
to be invited onto the team of embroiderers that worked on Sarah Burton's
design for the Duchess of Cambridge's wedding dress. This is a project Jen was
immensely proud to be a part of and if you seek her out in 30 years time (when
her contract expires) she will be able to share some of her secrets!
Jen enjoys mixing traditional
embroidery techniques with stylized designs to create modern stitch pieces that
can be recreated through her workshop program or via her range of embroidery
kits.
Heading into the festive season Jen is focusing on increasing her range
of embroidered jewellery. These pieces are individually stitched using fine
silks along with gold & silver embroidery to create unique future
treasures.
FREE entry as usual.
Open: Monday to Saturday 10am - 5pm, Sunday 11am - 4pm
