Zoë Zegzula Creative Textile Art

“Stretching the boundary between art and craft”

Textiles hold the greatest fascination for me.

The immense variety of textures and colours, natural or manmade, provides inspiration for my ideas.

I find working with textiles very relaxing, rewarding and essential to my well-being.

I use a variety of machine embroidery techniques and some hand embroidery to produce my art which I have studied for several years at City & Guilds level at South Nottingham College, Clifton.

Works include techniques such as: collaging, applique, couching, cutback and free motion machine embroidery.

I love frayed edges and sometimes distress fabrics by tearing or burning to produce the effect I am looking for.
