Fiber Talk with Claire Edwards

Claire’s current designs focus on the colors and textures of coral reefs.

Sassy Jacks Stitchery is sponsoring this week’s conversation with Claire Edwards, The Nomadic Maker. Claire and her partner have a unique lifestyle. Their permanent dwelling is a large mobile home and, when Beth isn’t teaching, they travel all over Europe. Living a nomadic life provides Claire with a never-ending source of inspiration for her nature-based needle art. Her current activities involve calling attention to the beautiful colors and textures of coral and coral reefs. In the conversation, we also explore how she created the amazing Rising from the Ashes dress and her experiences winning the 2017 Hand and Lock prize and the Bradford Textiles Competition three times. Claire has a unique approach to needle art that takes full advantage of her roving lifestyle. Be sure to visit her online channels to see and learn more.–Beth and Gary
