Hi, I'm Kate.

I love travelling and the esoteric.

I've been a textile artist my whole life. Growing up in a creative family led me to study textiles at Art School twice achieving both my Bachelor and Masters in Fine Arts. I've had some wonderful opportunities to combine my love of art with my love of travel, studying and creating all over the world. 

As well as my passion for textiles, it's also important to me to live meaningfully and sustainably. I rolled all these passions together with Zen Stitching, and by embracing the beautiful and practical designs of sashiko stitching, I'll help you not only mend your clothes, but also reduce textile waste and practice mindfulness.
