Fiber Talk with Lucy Martin

Stumpwork by Lucy Martin.
A member of the Bert & Ernie elephant team.
This week’s guest, Lucy Martin, has packed an entire needle-art career into just a few years, and she’s just getting started. We’re sponsored this week by Sassy Jacks Stitchery. Lucy’s business is Lucy Martin Embroidery and she is head of education at Hand & Lock. A graduate of the Royal School of Needlework, she’s a designer and teacher who has been involved in a variety of needlework areas in her short career, including the fashion and entertainment worlds, creating pieces for the coronation of King Charles, and designing large outdoor banners. Lucy specializes in stump work and goldwork designs. In addition to teaching embroidery, she provides industry mentoring sessions to help others succeed in the needlework world. On June 14, Lucy will return to talk to us about Hand & Lock and the work she does at that prestigious institution.–Beth and Gary

Fiber Talk with Stephanie Bonneau II

Haute couture flower by Stephanie Bonneau.

Stephanie Bonneau, of Atelier Saint Clare, returns this week for a second conversation. Our first conversation with Stephanie was October 18. In that first conversation, we learned about Stephanie’s career and experiences in the needle arts. We did not have enough time to explore the many years she has spent working in the world of haute couture. This week we devote the entire show to learning how that world of fashion works and the roles a skilled embroiderer plays in creating some of the world’s top fashion pieces. We hope you enjoy the show and gain at least a small sense of what goes on behind the scenes of a top fashion house.–Gary
