Selected Entries
"The Hogarth Press" by Wendy Hale

Wendy takes inspiration for her work from everyday life, ranging from nature with its changing seasons, to local landmarks such as Hampton Court Palace, to the vibrant, colourful markets of India. She is particularly interested in sustainability, using an eclectic mix of new and reclaimed fabrics, which she transforms and gives a new lease of life.
Wendy was inspired to produce The Hogarth Press when researching for another project. She found the building aesthetically pleasing with its particularly elegant shape and style as well as the history behind it. The Hogarth Press is the British publishing house founded in March 1917 by Leonard and Virginia Woolf.
Wendy used freehand machine embroidery on a linen background, then appliqued a colourful selection of contrasting new and vintage cotton fabrics in some favourite colours and prints, adding delicate lace to further enhance details of the architecture, as well as hand stitching.
