Work in progress 🌼 Dyeing with Marigolds and onion skins to get these delicious yellows and olive colours. Now I’m piecing them together to make a quilt top. I love making intuitively, with no set plan - I’m so excited to see how this turns out. ❤️ . . #processnotproduct #naturaldyeing #dyeingwithmarigolds #dyeingwithonionskins #fooddye #handdyeing #gardendye #welshartist #welshdesigner #quiltartist #textileartist #quiltart #improvquilting #improvquilt #dyedwithplants #dyedwithnature #workinprogressart #processvid #quilttop #textilewallhanging #textilewallart #tactileart #contemporaryquilt #contemporarycraft #designermaker #welshmaker #stephgloverstudio

Working on some new quilted wall art for my online shop. Launching soon! 😁 Handcrafted, textured goodness for you and your home. ❤️ The school holidays are always tricky when it comes to juggling childcare and work. This time I’ve tried to limit the amount of freelance interior design work I take on over the holidays to make sure I’m not overdoing it. As a result I’ve unexpectedly found little pockets of time for quiet stitching and making. Sometimes it’s good to slow things down, be present and reflect. . . . #trapunto #trapuntoquilting #appliquequilt #textileart #quiltart #textileartist #welshart #welshartist #designermaker #makinginthemoment #makerofinstagram #sustainabletextiles #handpaintedtextiles #wallhangingdecor #homedecorideas #handquilting #sashikostitching #slowstitching #slowmade #interiordesignersofinsta #welshinteriors #homeinterioruk #quiltartist #ceredigionart #ceredigionartist #intuitiveart #motherartist #artistmother #mothermaker

MA Graduation done ✔️ What a weird and wonderful three years it has been! Together with work and mum-work, it’s definitely been a juggle but I’ve loved it! I’m sad it’s all over really. The course has been like a big passion project granting me permission to research, experiment, make and play and I’ve learnt so much about myself! It has ignited a love for textiles, craft and handmade processes and given me a new unexpected direction for my practice which I’m so excited about! Huge thanks to @shellie.holden @cathhammerton and Gavin for all the help and support. I’ve met some amazing people especially @sewswansea . Thanks for keeping me sane ❤️. . Is it crazy that I just want to hop on another course and keep going? . @swanseacollegeofart_uwtsd @graphic.design.uwtsd @surfacepatterntextilesswansea @uwtsd . . #lifelonglearning #distinction #graduation2022 #magraduation #uwtsdgraduation #macontemporarydialogues #mumgraduated #designermaker #welshartist #welshdesignermaker #textileartist #maturestudent #backtouni #processnotproduct #magraphicdesign #matextile #swanseacollegeofart #stephgloverstudio #mastersdegree

#mumlife installation: tiny snippet of it’s making! My work explores the conflicting emotions and ambivalence towards mothering and the domestic space. It comments on how patriarchal motherhood regulates, restrains, confines and defines how women should perceive and practice mothering. .
