Justine Warner: Textile art landscapes from a surprising source - Stitchery Stories

Justine Warner guest Stitchery Stories embroidery podcast Wide Art

Justine Warner is inspired by the beautiful Yorkshire countryside on her doorstep and has developed a distinctive style for the textile art landscapes she creates. She works under the brand Pearl Loves Paisley.

She loves to experiment with different techniques and materials. A VERY surprising and very important element in her work is… patterned men’s ties. Yes, stripey, spotty, and particularly paisley. When you look closely you can see those patterns hiding in plain sight in her atmospheric landscapes of woods and rolling hills.

Justine shares her inspiration, techniques and her story of how she has developed her art practice alongside being a busy secondary school teacher.

Learn How To Use Zoom To Run Your Art Workshops & Craft Group Meetings

Justine has been experimenting with running her workshops via Zoom.

Do you know that I offer training in using Zoom?

I offer a practical online course to teach you how to use Zoom securely and professionally. I show you where all the settings are and what are the very important ones. I go through all the logistics of planning and scheduling and running a meeting. Equipment is also covered – lights, microphones, tripods and stands. Want to split your attendees into smaller groups? Breakout rooms are fab for doing that. You can use Zoom to host 1-to-1 mentoring and tuition, run large groups, present to an audience and just with yourself as an easy way to record your presentation for others to watch at a later date.

Please message me for more information, to ask questions and to book.

All this, for the price of £49.
