Crewe, Cheshire, UK

Embroiderer and wordsmith, Catherine Hill is a multi-award-winning contemporary textile artist based in Crewe. Her artistic vision is drawn from her childhood memories growing up in the English county of Lancashire in the 1970’s.

Hand embroidered text forms the foundation of all her work. Using cotton cloth, vintage Sylko threads and traditional embroidery techniques she documents memories and Lancashire's social history. Catherine composes the narratives then stitches them. With each stitch she recreates the rhythm of her own handwriting.

Her work has been exhibited in the UK, USA, Germany, Switzerland, Brazil, Ukraine & Australia.

She has a blog and YouTube called ‘Arnold’s Attic’ where she writes under the name of Katie. https://www.youtube.com/arnoldsattic
