Emily Woods – Textiles - Open Studios

Embroidered prints, notebooks, greeting cards and more, created from watercolour paintings and machine embroidery inspired by the Cornish countryside.

I am a Cornwall based textile artist specialising in textile products inspired from the flora and fauna of the beautiful countryside that surrounds me. Flowers have always played an important part within my work and I find I always go back to them when I do occasionally deviate away.

I find drawing and painting flowers gives you that freedom of line and colour-no flower is ever the same. I feel more at one with nature and it makes you appreciate our environment and where we live more, which is something that is so important nowadays.

I try and incorporate flowers that are synonymous with Cornwall so there is a deeper connection in my work and has that personal touch.
