Adam Pritchett: From conception to creation

Adam Pritchett is a hand embroidery artist based in the Lake District, England.

His work is focused around mystical, botanical, and entomological themes, mixing traditional hand embroidery techniques with contemporary subjects, and hand dyed textiles.

Adam has exhibited in a number of gallery shows in the US, and UK, and appeared on 2016’s episode of Kirstie Allsopp’s Handmade Christmas.

In this interview, part of our From conception to creation series, Adam tells us how a prompt from a US gallery set his imagination whirring and his creative fingers to work. He talks us through the process of making, where he sources his materials and the techniques which enabled him to create this beautifully detailed piece.
