About Francesca Kemp Textile Art

Based in a rural village in the stunning Kent countryside, Francesca draws inspiration for her embroidery pieces from her beautiful surroundings. Every time I see something inspirational I start researching and mapping out each piece in my sketch book, transfer it to fabric, eclectically gathering small pieces of pre-loved fabrics, (lots of which come from charity shops or vintage markets) and finishing with embroidery on my vintage Singer sewing machine. Moving the fabric under the needle to draw onto fabric in thread." Most of Francesca's artwork is then scanned to create high resolution images to transfer onto organic fabrics, where we can then produce beautiful quality homewares and design luxury giftware; such as greetings cards and wrapping paper. Francesca works hard to create both unusual artworks and homewares, with a nod to design but also perfect functionality. It is very important to us that every piece is both practical and beautiful and responsibility sourced.Read their story
