Exciting Portrait Project

This remarkable stitched portrait is of Guild member and textile artist Louise Watson.

Created by the renowned artist Emily Tull, it is part of her current project, which involves making a series of portraits of other textile artists. 

We're sure you'll agree that Emily’s fine, expressive use of embroidery effortlessly crosses the divide between art and craft.
