In this episode, I'm travelling to exotic India, where embroidery isn't simply decoration; it's devotion to a long and fascinating heritage, as told through the Lehenga, a tale of elegance and timeless beauty.

What happens when one lets go of convention, yet still retains strong connections with beauty and craftsmanship? We can still utilise symbolism and fine work to explore and disrupt norms by using non-traditional materials, aggressive motifs, unusual threads and unconventional imagery, making textile and embroidery art one of the most interesting artistic genres to explore for the up-and-coming while maintaining craftsmanship.

Join me as I explore how bridal couture is honouring yet redefining tradition.

This is the episode where fabric and thread meet imagination. Can a needle and thread truly be used to trick the eye? Is it magic or simply sleight of hand? For centuries, artists and embroiderers have been playing games with our minds to suggest that what we see might just represent something else. The thing is, these illusions are still in use today.
In today's episode of Embroidery Illusion: Distorting the Senses, I'll explore the fascinating worlds of trompe l'oeil, shading, dimension, shadow work, transparency and perspective as they are used in the art of embroidery.
