Rachel Anderson Textiles began in September 2019 when textile artist Rachel had completed her full-time BA Hons in Textiles, and was seeking a full time creative pursuit. Based in East Yorkshire, Rachel Anderson specialises in freemotion machine embroidery, using the sewing machine as a tool to draw. Often experimenting with textile design, her works include signature fabrics that are developed as a result of experimenting with paper marbling to achieve fluid patterns to contrast the rigid stitches that lie on the surface. Rachel is also regularly teaching Textiles for Hull based Feral Art School, and also hosts a range of one off creative textile workshops independently, as well as for many local organisations including East Riding Libraries, Ferens Art Gallery, Knitting & Stitching Shows, and Our Big Picture in Grimsby.
