It's the school summer holidays and I'm taking a break. So instead of new chats, I'm replaying some of my old favourites!
This is a repeat of episode #87.
In this episode of NeedleXChange I interview Stephanie Kelly Clark.
Stephanie is a contemporary embroidery artist whose work transforms humble homes and everyday moments into rich visual stories stitched with painterly precision. In this first part of our conversation, we explore her creative upbringing, the role of art in parenting, and her evolving relationship with embroidery as a medium. From homemade Halloween costumes to thread-based storytelling, Stephanie shares how her domestic life and artistic journey are deeply intertwined.
