Speedily have your portrait Stitched via a live video call.
Watch as I capture your likeness with my sewing machine as I speak to you about your life. Scraps of material are appliqued onto the art work to match what you are wearing, fabric is used to capture jewellery and words are selected from your story and are hidden within the piece.
During the portrait, I use two cameras, one so you can watch the work live as it happens and the other to talk with me. You are welcome to be doing something you enjoy doing or holding a prop which represents a part of you.
Once you purchase a portrait, we can find the nearest time and date to perform the work.
I love stitching portraits and before the pandemic I always chose to work from life. As a lot of these opportunities have been taken away, I began stitching portraits via Zoom. It has been brilliant! I get to meet interesting people from around the world and they get to watch me work as I react to them and our conversation.
Bring the magic of live stitching to your events. Whether it's a wedding, corporate gathering, or special occasion, I offer live stitching at online or in person events. Immerse your audience in a world of creativity with live stitching, where each stitch becomes a part of the event's unique story.
My presentation is about my travels around the world with a sewing machine. I speak about how I use my art as its own language and how it can incite interactions and adventures with the world.
I intend the talk to take the listeners on a colourful journey, from cycling across India to pedal-powered sewing machines.
During the talk, I perform a live stitched portrait demonstration of one of the guests, a camera on my sewing machine allows the viewers to watch the portrait come to life.
Book me to deliver a Zoom/ or from life Presentation to your group. I have spoken to Embroiders Guilds, Quilting Groups, Art Clubs, University Students and any other willing audiences!
