Gillian Richardson will be exhibiting her glorious art on the third floor at Westgate Art Studios Wakefield this month. 'sArt, Studio C6
for the Artwalk Wakefield

"I am a largely self taught embroiderer and textile artist working in . Growing up left handed in the 1960s, there was very little understanding and support within schools and I was led to believe I would never be able to sew. I was an adult before I realised this wasn't true! I always had a passion for colour and texture and an evening class in felt making really set me on the road to working with textiles. I have recently completed a City & Guilds Level 3 in Hand Embroidery. My exhibition will show pieces that I submitted for my course showing a range of techniques, plus some work before and after this."
