Add An Element of Wonder to Your Life with These Embroideries

We’ve taken lately to Adam Pritchett’ tiny botanical embroideries. Inspired by fantasy novels, his work has an added element of spark and mystery to it. Something that evokes a sense of wonder.

“Much of my work has botanical, natural themes, and I am a huge science/nature buff,” he told Textile Artist. “Documentaries about the natural world always are a huge source of inspiration for me… I also read as much as I can, and often find an idea is sparked by a fantasy novel that I’ve been reading, and I think that’s where much of the myth and magic themes in my work come from.”

Talking about his artistic background Pritchett added: “I have always had an interest in textiles, I remember making fabric toys and puppets during school holidays with my Grandmother… I think the real moment that it became a fascination to me was while studying at university and I distinctly recall workshops learning about the structure of fabrics and how they are made and just being enthralled by the way that thread could be woven to create beautiful fabrics. That is when I learned to weave, and how to knit and spin yarn, it really was a new beginning for me as a maker.”
