Jennifer Collier — The thoughtful dresser book cover. How has your work developed since you began and how do you see it evolving in the future?

I originally trained in Textiles , but over time my work has evolved into paper, with all of the techniques I use in my work now being things I have taught myself since graduating by experimenting with different media and techniques. Probably more than half of my work never sees the light of day, but through the other half I have discovered something truly unique. It got to the stage where books and papers were my main inspiration, and I was always trying to emulate this quality, so it just made sense for them to become the media for the work too.

As my work continues to progresses I am trying to incorporate as many traditional embroidery techniques as possible, such as covered binding, button loops and covered buttons, Cathedral Squares, Bullion Roses, pleating and patchwork.

I hope to continue to push the boundaries of what paper can do, and showcase the fact that all my work is just stitched paper. My Bernina.

Do you give talks or run workshops or classes? If so where can readers find information about these?
