IN THE STUDIO…

Thank you for visiting my Website.

Welcome to my online shop. My studio is based in Manchester’s Craft and Design Centre in the Northern Quarter in Manchester, U.K. where I design and make unique handmade products. Using natural materials such as lambs leather, cow hide, suede and cottons I create contemporary, simple, functional shapes for accessories and bags.

After completing my degree in Embroidery in 2003 at Manchester Metropolitan University, I have developed my skills as a maker and use traditional embroidery techniques such as appliqué and hand stitch to enhance my designs and a carefully chosen combination of colours to complement them.

I am drawn to detail and embellishment, and combine these to make functional items. I love to add intricate handstitch in traditional linen thread to my work as I see these small punctuations finish a piece of work. A time consuming task but the finished result of each is unique.

I hope you enjoy having a look through my work. Please get in touch via the contacts page if you have any questions and also have a look out for my new ‘Commissions’ page to see what other recent work I have been enjoying making for people.

If you would like to hear about my new work or any promotions I may have please join my mailing list and also follow me in Instagram @suedevine10 .

Thanks,

Suzanne.
