Meet Cathryn
Cathryn works with a small talented team at her studio in West Sussex creating bespoke embroidery design and production for film and theatre.
Cathryn hand stitches and beads, and uses two machines, the Cornely which makes a chain stitch and her beloved Irish which she specialises in, allowing her to develop flowing freehand embroidery.
“I use the needle as my brush and the thread as the paint”
Current and recent projects include Aladdin, Maleficent 2, Mulan, Swan Lake at ROH, Outlaw King, The Crown and Victoria.
