About
Maddie is passionate about bringing hand embroidery into a current society and for it to be recognised and respected as a contemporary craft. With in her work she takes inspiration form nature, with surrounded her while growing up in Derbyshire, along with elements that influence her on a day-to-day basis, such as popular culture, her friends, music and now living in London as a young creative. Maddie combines these current themes with traditional hand embroidery techniques
