Sue Rangeley – Embroidery Atelier; Visions and Passions
September 2 @ 1:30 pm – 4:00 pm
Sue will be sharing the secrets of her studio life as a textile artist, exploring the inspirations and techniques of her embroidered creations. With a focus on the collection of embroidered works that feature in her latest book. Sue will be showing a selection of original pieces from her publication and studio samples which give an insight into her special processes.
An artistic career shaped by fine art studies in the late 1960s, a love of painting and drawing continue to infuse Sue’s embroidered creations. Early fashion and interior textiles display her distinct hallmark of delicate, romantic, painted silks accented with applique details. She specializes in beautiful, crafted embroideries for contemporary dress, one-off accessories and textile art.
International exhibitions and lecturing in USA, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and Japan have brought wider recognition. Sue’s embroideries are held in public and private collections worldwide. She has received numerous awards for her creative activities; in 2009 she received a National Lottery & Arts Council England grant for curating ‘A Wearable Art’ exhibition in Oxfordshire. In 2018, Sue was chosen to demonstrate at an exclusive event at the Victoria & Albert Museum, as part of the ‘Fashioned from Nature’ program, hosted by the Friends of the V&A.
