If I show you my favourite part of the process 9 times in a row, will you get stick of it? 😂 Those last two shots 😍 ❤️ This is the part of my art making process where I wash the temporary backing fabric away and reveal my sculptural embroidery. This series is based on different genuses of coral fan and I have loved exploring all the colours, bumps and interconnecting networks to be found in that fascinating world. #watersolublefabric #meredithwoolnough | Meredith Woolnough Artist

If you haven’t come across Meredith Woolnough’s work yet, you’re in for a treat. Her art takes centre stage in this weeks artist spotlight ✨ Meredith creates delicate, sculptural pieces using a technique called freehand machine embroidery – essentially drawing with a sewing machine. Stitched onto water-soluble fabric that’s later washed away, her work appears to float, casting gentle shadows through a method she calls ‘shadow mounting’. She first explored this process during her fine art studies

Are you threaded up and ready to join me in the Sculptural Embroidery online course? Enrolments open TOMORROW, but only for a few days. I’m so excited to be running this course again. This is the course where I share all that I know (and love) about this wonderful form of embroidery art - exploring freehand machine embroidery on water soluble fabric.
