Sandy Snowden's Friends

Sandy Snowden's Groups

What textiles are you interested in?: I am interested in all types of textiles, really. I love handwork and beading, but also free machine work and surface design. I also design and sew garments.

Where did you learn your textile skills?: I did textiles in school, and then taught myself from books. I then went to college and have acheived my City and Guilds:Fashion qualification.

Is there anything else you'd like other members of Stitchin' Fingers to know about you? Please feel free to tell us a little bit about yourself by way of introduction.: I have been a Bernina Fashion Designer 2007 and 2008. I show my textile art work in US and Europe. I am soon to begin teaching at New Directions - Formerly Reading Adult Community College, Reading, Berks.

I sort of stretch the silk on a frame.

I don't actually know Jai. She was at a Japanese Embroidery class with friends of mine last week - I was not able to attend. When she joined SF I saw on her profile that she listed JE as one of her interests.

Isn't it marvellous to have a site such as this where we can meet others who share our interests.

I like your drawing with a soulder iron on silk. Do you need a light touch. I imagine it would be very easy to burn right through the silk.
