Sophie Pattinson graduated with a first class honours degree in textile design and worked for several years as a freelance textile artist.
After completing a Winston Churchill travelling scholarship to India Sophie was asked by the European Union to head a project aimed at providing women living in remote areas of Bangladesh with the necessary embroidery skills to generate an income.
Most of the women had little or no experience of embroidery.
Sophie now works mainly with a group of women in a rural area of west Bangladesh, designing and producing fine quality silk and cotton embroidered cushion covers, bedcovers, lavender pillows and more.
These products are sold at selected Fairs and are available from her directly.
Please contact Sophie for information on available stock.
