Architectural Embroidery

A Lecture by Erin Petronella

March 1, 2025

1pm via Zoom

On March 1st, Elin will present a lecture about the artistic process of using simple stitchery to create advanced looking images. Focused on Architectural hand-embroidery, her work concentrates on how to translate the environment into a stitch-able design. As a result of her background in drawing, she often considers her embroidery work as “touchable drawings”, as they add a 3D element when translated in threads and fabric.
This is a free lecture.  No registration is required.  A Zoom link will be sent out to all Region members a few days prior to the lecture.
Bio: Elin Petronella is a Swedish artist and writer based in Belgium with her husband and two daughters. Elin is a co-author of Mindful Embroidery (McMillan 2020), runs the digital Petronella.Art Magazine (through Substack), and Petronella Art Academy (previously Charles and Elin Academy).
