No amount of encouragement from her mother who sewed quite a bit could persuade her to do so. Ailish preferred fine art techniques, especially related to drawing and painting.<\/p>\n<p>But after entering college, she felt something was missing. And that something was textiles. Ailish enrolled in a textile course where she ultimately discovered ways to use her sketches to inform textile art that combined drawing, painting, collage and stitch. She never looked back.<\/p>\n<p>After a decade of developing her practice, Ailish hosted her first solo exhibition in 2016. Currently, she teaches lectures and serves as Editor-In-Chief for the Mr X Stitch embroidery and needlecraft website. She has also launched her own line of printed textiles available for purchase.<\/p>\n<p>This article showcases both the techniques and inspiration that led Ailish to adopt her \u201csketch-to-stitch\u201d process to create thought-provoking images. You will also be introduced to Ailish\u2019s process for transferring her hand-designed art to digital fabric designs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Until she went to college to study Fine Art, Ailish Henderson had never picked up a needle.
