To frame or not to frame? That is the question - and not just for textile art! We chat about some of the various ways we've finished and framed our textile work, and as a bonus, you can watch a video version of our chat over on our new YouTube channel https://youtu.be/I5Tlg-oOtdo.
Welcome to our podcast for all stitchers, embroiderers, textile artists and creative souls, where we have friendly informal conversations about what it actually means to be an artist working in textiles. Isobel Moore and Gina Ferrari are both practicing artists and tutors specialising in machine embroidery, but we’re still figuring it all out! We chat about combining the creative process with running a business and hope that you will find inspiration and support for your own creative journeys.
