In 2012, I was bored. At the time I was an avid knitter but I wasn't getting enough instant gratification out of it, and basically everyone I knew already had 3 scarves from me so it was time to find something new. My mom has always been a talented hand-quilter and I thought, why not embroidery? It's inexpensive, fast, it doesn't take up a lot of space and I already have most of the materials from dabbling in it during high school.
Since then it's been a love affair with hand sewing of all types, sashiko, cross stitch, crewel, you name it, I was into it. I started doing markets and trying to get my name out there and in October of 2016, I got the opportunity to start teaching embroidery classes at a magical place called Gather Here in Cambridge. Since then I have been teaching classes all across the Boston area from MassArt to MIT and everywhere in between.
Anything hand-sewing is what I do. I work mostly with meditative embroidery, getting lost in the stitches, sometimes not even varying the stitch I'm doing for the entire piece. I struggle a lot with patience so hand-sewing helps me slow down and be in the moment. I also work a lot with sustainability in the textile industry and fiber waste. I recently made an artists book using only discarded textiles from my personal practice. I'm still experimenting and trying to find my voice but I'm just trying to teach myself to pause a little bit more.
I'm available to teach workshops and classes in the Greater Boston area.
