VENUE 26 - Lucy Freeman, 9 Regent Place
Botanical Embroidery
Lucy Freeman is a textile artist and designer. Merging the traditional craft of embroidery with contemporary design, her work is full of vibrant colours, painterly stitching and delicate botanical and floral imagery.
Lucy creates entirely hand-crafted wall hangings and framed embroideries, often working on a large scale rarely seen in embroidery. Her innovative methods for framing and presenting embroidery have elevated her work to national recognition in galleries and the press.
She is an experienced tutor, having taught workshops across the UK for the last six years, as well as producing a successful range of embroidery kits, which have been sold in John Lewis and Liberty. Lucy is also a regular contributor to craft magazines including Mollie Makes and Love Embroidery, where her embroidery projects have featured as the cover star several times.
Lucy graduated from Leeds College of Art with a Textile Design degree in 2016, then became a full-time artist in the Summer of 2018. She has since worked with John Lewis, Liberty London, Not On The High Street and the National Trust. She has exhibited in Bristol, Newcastle and London as well as teaching across the UK.
