How does a music loving textile artist choose between her two obsessions? She doesn\u2019t \u2013 she combines them!<\/p>\n
That was the no-brainer for Jane Sanders of Newcastle Upon Tyne, UK. Using machine and hand stitch, she creates pictures of iconic musicians on her vintage sewing machine, inspired by her own love of pop culture and the audiences\u2019 love of their musical heroes. She employs techniques such as applique, beading and painting as part of her textile art.<\/p>\n
Having been brought up with her mother\u2019s Singer Fashion Mate sewing machine in the 1970s, Jane acquired one herself and has been using it for over 25 years. She sews at her kitchen table which inspired her social media name \u2013 stitchin in the kitchen.<\/p>\n
Jane started her art training at The Salisbury College of Art and Design, and completed it with a degree in Contemporary Arts Practice from Northumbria University. Her work has been included in many group shows, and she has also had two solo shows in the North East. She has had portraits commissioned all over the world, and they have featured widely in the media.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
