Donna Wilson 15th anniversary
Hello people in the U.K!
I am writing this in English for the first time in ages, as I have a great news to share.
When I was a student, I came across Donna Wilson's work and I got very excited, and inspired by her creatures.
It was amazing to see such a fun& original knit work and I became so aware of what you could create with such a traditional technique. I don't think I am doing what I'm doing right now, if I hadn't met Donna's work.
At the time, Donna had a studio space at home, so I went and helped her stitch eyes and noses of creatures at her house.
Since I came back to Tokyo in 2011, we stayed in touch, and sometimes I was lucky enough to meet her when she was in Tokyo/or I was in London.
This year she is celebrating her 15th years anniversary, and we are making a series of collaborative creatures, and I am holding an embroidery workshop on 22nd of September.
Please come and say hello. Meet great Donna Wilson's work, join workshop!
