Durham Cathedral Broderers

One of Tracy Franklin’s doodle cloth samplers.

Our conversation this week with the talented and versatile Tracy Franklin is sponsored by Sassy Jacks Stitchery (sassyjacksstitchery.com) and Avlea Folk Embroidery (avleaembroidery.com). Tracy is a graduate of the Royal School of Needlework, where she spent 10 years teaching and coordinating before starting her own business. She still teaches for the RSN in Durham while developing her own designs and teaching live and online classes. In our conversation, we learn about her early years in the costume-making industry, the many things she learned at the RSN, her design approach, the dynamic artist community in which she works, and her role as Head Broderer at the Durham Cathedral, a World Heritage Site. Be sure to visit Tracy’s website and explore the Durham Cathedral website.–Beth and Gary
