Clare Spender

I studied embroidery at Manchester Metropolitan University and graduated in 1997. 

I was a community artist  before taking on roles within charitable organisations working as art and craft co-ordinators before working for the National Trust as a collection assistant and teaching art and textiles.
I have recently graduated from UCA Farnham with a MA in Textiles. Studying for this MA has allowed me to re-emerge as a practicing textile artist.

This site features some of my printed and stitched textiles and exploratory MA work.

I have a working studio at The Guild, Wilton, Salisbury where I create both my stitched landscapes and installation pieces.
