Profile
Sue prefers to work with natural fibres. She dyes and screen prints her fabrics then works into them with machine and hand stitching. Sometimes she uses paper in her work: either simply stitched paper or combining it with fabric to produce her stitched sketches. More recently, she has been investigating sustainable fabrics from which to produce a range of scarves.
She gives talks and workshops.
