About
Hannah is a self-taught hand embroidery artist based in Hertfordshire, UK. The collection of "dancing ladies" began with a piece entitled Cara (see images below) which was a creative response to Hannah's doctoral research in Victorian literature and culture. Cara was displayed in an exhibition at Loughborough University during early spring 2024.
Established in 2024, Embroiderer Girl is a new and developing small business. Hannah is open to commissions and would be happy to discuss custom pieces.
Cara on display at Loughborough University's 'Health from Cradle to Grave: Birthing Chair to Death Couch' exhibition, March-April 2024.
