Across centuries, women have turned to textiles as a way to tell stories through thread.
UNCOMMON ANCESTOR is my way of continuing this tradition.
Specialising in Story Stools and Memory Boxes, I embroider meaningful symbols and personal motifs into the fabric of the furniture I design.
Story Stools and benches are a timeless celebration of your memories - a time capsule to be handed down through generations. The embroidered motifs draw inspiration from personal histories and historical iconography.
Crafted from solid walnut and lined with a rich velvet insert, my jewellery trays feature delicately embroidered motifs. This first collection is centred on the Victorian language of floriography.
Uncommon Ancestor brings together illustration, furniture making and embroidery to create one-of-a-kind designs.
