Bleeding Hearts — One of a Kind Textile Art

£300

The Magic of Fireflies and Dragonflies
  • One-of-a-kind textile artwork by Sue Studd
  • Materials include red silk and hand-dyed white silk
  • Hand-stitching, embroidery, appliqué and beadwork

A white frame sets a quiet boundary around an intensely coloured scene of hearts and tears. Sue’s Bleeding Hearts textile artwork began as a contribution to a poetry anthology; its subject is the end of a relationship, but the name she gives it, ‘Your Heart Will Heal’, leaves room for hope.

THE HANDS BEHIND THE PIECE

Meet Sue Studd.

The Magic of Fireflies and Dragonflies
Suffolk, UK

Sue Studd brings a teacher’s curiosity and an artist’s eye to silver clay. Working in Suffolk, she builds jewellery around the small details of the natural world: a dragonfly’s wings, a leaf’s branching veins, the outline of a shell. Her background spans painting, textiles and primary teaching; today, she makes fine silver jewellery and shares the craft through hands-on workshops.
