Darning Workshops for 2026

Would you like to join me in a Darning Workshop in 2026?

I’ve had quite a few enquiries about hand stitching workshops so I’m currently making plans for some in 2026.

If you’d like more information, email me at me@catherinehill.art and I’ll keep you updated when I have more to share.

‘A Way with Words’ Artist Talk

I’ve opened up my booking diary for 2027 and 2028 for talks and have a few dates available for 2026. I’m based in Crewe and have family in Hertfordshire so I’m happy to travel from either location.

The PowerPoint talk is called ‘A Way with Words’ and shares an insight into how I design and create my hand stitched text based work. I prefer to use your group’s projector if available, but I’m happy to bring my own. I also bring along some original hand stitched pieces for you to see up close, plus a selection of goodies for sale.

If you’d like more information, email me at me@catherinehill.art.

O Curioso Gabinete: Animal Exhibition

O Curioso Gabinete is a touring exhibition of miniature 2D and 3D works shown in a hamster cage. The cabinet will be displayed in several galleries and other locations in Portugal, including Porto, Coimbra and Tomar.

All work has a maximum length of 10cm and weighs no more than 60g – the average length and weight of a hamster. 

Update

The first stop of the tour, 26 September – 3 October 2025, is A Tentadora in Covilhã. Covilhã is a city in the Portuguese mountains and has a good arts scene. A Tentadora is a small, beautiful space that hosts exhibitions alongside its shop and workspaces. The exhibition will then transfer to its next Porto location.

Found: Toy Lion is my latest hand embroidered artwork. The 2cm wide panel of stitched cloth is wrapped around a little toy lion from my childhood home.

Found: Toy Lion

Eco dyed cotton cloth, sourced from a preloved pillowcase, forms the background for the sewn words.

Words: In a little wooden box, veneer missing long ago, amongst the cotton reels, needle and pins.

The words are my own and hand embroidered in vintage Sylko thread onto eco printed cotton cloth. Attached to the toy lion with a handmade cord of vintage thread.

Size: Height 8cm x Width 5cm x Depth 2cm.

This is the first piece of work in my ‘Found’ series.
