Embroidery art by Jessica Grady.Detail from one of Jessica Grady’s Luminary series.This week’s guest is embroiderer Jessica Grady. The show is sponsored by Avlea Folk Embroidery. Please support our sponsors and let them know you heard about them from Fiber Talk. Jessica Grady’s art is likely the most dimensional, non-stumpwork, embroidery you’ll ever see. Sequin-shaped items were her original inspiration but, as you’ll see, she’s way beyond stitching disks to cloth. Her art is only part of it. The prep work of dyeing, cutting, and assembling sub-parts is a creative process unto its own. Be sure to visit her social media and consider participating in a workshop. For Fiber Talk Patreon members, we recorded a second show in which we explore all that went into creating three of her pieces. Become part of our Patreon group at Patreon.com/FiberTalk.–Gary
