An artist’s studio holds the secrets of their creations. ‘Embroidery Atelier’ invites readers to delve into the art and craft of a contemporary embroiderer, and be inspired to stitch.
Nature, nostalgia, the romance of the past infuse designs, eclectic themes drive personal passions. Inspirations for stitch explore frivolous ‘flower power’ fashions, historic mementoes, nature’s world, floral beauties of the famous Hidcote Manor and Sissinghurst Castle gardens. Embroidery takes flight with an array of ideas and techniques.
Beautiful photographic images by Michael Wicks capture the essence and meticulous details of the textiles.
The book features new works created for this publication, and textiles from Sue’s studio collection, with insights into specialist embroidery techniques.
Embroidery Atelier - Visions & Passions is a companion volume to Embroidered Originals.

'The inspirational images in this book could easily stand alone - the photography by Michael Wicks, makes every stitch
sing and enhances the delicate detail in the machine embroidered pieces. Sue Rangeley takes us on a tour of the embroidery she
produces in her studio practice. Quite simply a beautiful book.'

'Sue lets flow with glorious inspirational colour that keeps on coming as you progress through the chapters of Frost, Foliage and Flora. The richness of the pieces in the chapters is complemented by the eminently practical Studio Techniques at the back of the book, this was my favourite part and the reason you'd take the book out again when it has fired you up to get stitching.'
