Celebrated for her bold and unapologetic use of colour, Danielle’s pieces explore the interplay of light, shadow, and texture.

She told us,

"I believe everyone has a unique colour language. It’s evident in the colours in your cupboard and the ones that jump out at you in daily life. The trick is leaning into the colours that bring you joy"

We caught up with Lynn Hall who recently completed our City and Guilds intermediate Knitting course (Skills Stage 3). Having a lifelong passion for knitting and crochet, she joined the course in search of a new challenge and to push her skills beyond using standard patterns. Her key motivation was to formalise her expertise with a recognized qualification and to explore the world of knitting design.

Throughout the course, she mastered new techniques, including dyeing yarn and making buttons, and was especially proud of her ability to create her own knitting patterns. Her assessment pieces received glowing feedback, and she now plans to turn her designs into saleable patterns, opening exciting new doors for her crafting career. This is her #MyStitchJourney.

Last year Odette Barrow won a bursary to study with us for FREE. Having completed our Hand Embroidery course, she told us,

"The course put me face to face with subjects which I had considered above my ability, for example Hardanger and drawn thread work, but I have learned that I can thrive once I open myself up to the acquiring of new skills.

The same occurred during the design module of the course, where I thoroughly enjoyed the experience of computer manipulation of my own photographs. It has empowered me with confidence to explore and create more of my own generated designs."

Danielle Clough is a storyteller with a needle and thread. She weaves vibrant colours and intricate textures into works that radiate energy and emotion. Working from her evolving studio space, Danielle’s journey into textiles has been anything but conventional. With a background in live visuals and music events, her creative path took a fascinating turn into the meditative world of hand embroidery—a slower, tactile artform that perfectly contrasts her earlier, fast-paced work.

We had the absolute pleasure of interview @fiance_knowles to discuss her career, techniques and inspirations.

At the School of Stitched Textiles, we believe in unlocking creative potential and changing lives through education. Our Joan Harrison Creative Bursary is a testament to this mission, providing talented individuals with the opportunity to pursue their artistic dreams through our prestigious hand embroidery courses—completely free of charge.

Odette Barrow’s inspiring story exemplifies the transformative impact of this bursary. Selected from 130 applicants, Odette embraced the challenge with determination and passion, embarking on a journey of growth, discovery, and skill-building. From mastering intricate techniques like Hardanger and drawn thread work to designing a stunning, illuminated lampshade as her final project, Odette’s story is one of perseverance and accomplishment.
