Embroidery Magazine Sep/Oct 2023 Zurück Ausgabe

The September/October issue of Embroidery magazine is a cornucopia of rainbow hues and innovative textiles. With an international slant, our cover features the work of Gurjeet Singh, one of the South Asian artists exhibiting at Lancashire’s British Textile Biennial in October, an exciting event that is not to be missed.

We also have a seven-page guide to the Knitting and Stitching Show London, featuring exhibiting artists so you can plan your visit.

Elsewhere, we feature the Renwick Invitational at the Smithsonian American Art Museum in Washington, which for the first time is wholly devoted to Native American and Alaska Native art.

Liz Cook profiles Maori artist Ron Te Kawa whose exuberant practice brings life and colour, while we also take a look at Kandahar Treasure, an organisation involved in reinvigorating the khamak embroidery tradition to improve the lives of Afghan women stitch by stitch.

Closer to home we find out how Catherine Hill’s world changed when she became an Embroiderers’ Guild member, and meet Nikki Parmenter, who has developed her own ‘plastic entrapment’ technique.

We’re also asking you to get involved in seam collective’s #SeptTextileLove on Instagram, responding to a different prompt each day.

Plus, we have news of who has won top awards, courses not to miss, fresh talent, Diva Fever, Embroidery Loves... and an extended what’s on section.
