Claire de Waard is a Hand Embroiderer who thrives on reinterpreting traditional textile and craft techniques for a contemporary context. The use of non textile materials as embellishment allows her to explore other craft practices and she enjoys the notion of creating a 'millefeuille' of contrasting hues and material qualities in her practice. Claire is particularly interested in using straw within her work, and has been focusing on exploring the use of this material in the last few years.

Straw Embroidery and Needlelace making techniques
