Artist Educators

TEXTILE PRACTICE: Elnaz has taught embroidery throughout her community, within primary, secondary and higher education as well as community groups and organisations.

In 2020 Elnaz was commended for the teaching excellence award in embroidery via the Embroiderers Guild and became an Embroiderers Guild Scholar after the successful launch of her virtual embroidery school ‘Embroider Your Future’.

Her practice explores ways of transforming traditional embroidery techniques through her choice of unusual materials; she is inspired by industrial, upcycled materials and the ways in which she can embellish, connect or transform these items through stitch to develop a surface or form. Her unique embroidery style has allowed her to work across fashion, jewellery and installation contexts since graduating from Manchester School of Art in 2014.

Elnaz is available for workshops, talks, embroidery and jewellery commissions, exhibitions and collaborative projects.
