Demo and Question & Answer Session with Jessie Chorley

Jessie is a London-based textile artist, specialising in contemporary illustrative embroidery
and simple patching techniques. The traditional technical skills and hands-on approach that she celebrates in
her work today were passed down to her from her own family of makers.

Shortly after graduating with a BA in Fine Art Textile Practice from Goldsmiths College, London, Jessie set up her own business as a full-time artist, designer and maker. Over time, she has also become a tutor, social artist and author, as well as running a shop/studio, selling her work in East London from 2007 to 2021. Jessie now runs her business from her private South London studio.

Printmaking, collage and needle-turned appliqué techniques are at the heart of Jessie’s practice as a maker.

Jessie will be demonstrating a quick applique and showing her signature style and wants the audience to ask questions about her work.
