Today on the Stitchery Stories textile art podcast, textile artist Tracey Coverley shares her story of leaving the railway industry and turning her fine art skills into creating textile art portraits of iconic figures from music and film.
She works under her brand, “Handmade In Horwich End”.

- One day a face appeared in fabric and thread
- What do you grab first when you get evacuated?

- The importance of social media for artists
- Inspirations from film and music icons
