Your Tutor
Jess Grady is an embroidery artist and educator. Her original textiles are a bold and tactile exploration of colour and pattern through hand stitching and embellishment. She uses a combination of processes within all my embroideries including traditional hand embroidery techniques, hand dyeing, printing and embellished surfaces – that utilise unconventional and recycled materials such as painted metal washers, hand dyed plastic waste, packaging and stripped electric cables. These materials are transformed and manipulated to create intricate embellishments. This juxtaposition of unusual media with traditional techniques invites the viewer to look closer – creating curiosity.
Jess was recently featured in Embroidery, the world’s leading textile art magazine (Jul/Aug 2026 issue).
