Joanne's textile art specialized in combining drawing and painting with hand and free machine embroidery. A design drawn on paper was free machined onto a base fabric.
This was then painted.
Fabric was appliqued onto the painted design and completed by machine embroidery.
This piece then has to be hand embellished.
Joanne's work as shown below is truly inspirational. She is a wonderful teacher and was willing to share so many of her ideas and expertise with us. The workshop was a fabulous day and we learnt so much from her calm and attentive teaching method. A big thank you from all of us here at GTAG (Grassington Textile Arts Group).
