Embroidery Magazine Nov/Dec 2026

We are delighted to be stocking Embroidery Magazine. This gorgeous magazine is published six times a year and is packed full of in-depth artist profiles, artist’s essays and reviews.

In the run up to the Christmas festivities, our November/December issue is sprinkled with magic. From the work schedule of a Hollywood embroiderer to the island world of a Haitian drapo Vodou creator, we reflect that a life in embroidery always has that little bit of sparkle.

Coverage of perhaps the biggest embroidery calendar highpoints includes a preview of the shortlist for the Hand & Lock Prize 2026 and a review of Knit + Stitch London.

Elsewhere, one new face is Vidushi Parashar, who interacts with viewers through unique playful sculptures, while Kyoko Sugiura’s whimsical anthropomorphic vegetable characters are delicate fusions of European and Japanese techniques.

Martha Hussey reflects contemporary life in her work, even in her modern-day take on the Bayeux Tapestry, while Jo Torr is a sculptor whose medium is historical costume, put to stunning effect in her new touring show.

Aran Illingworth tells of her studies of homeless people and Deborah Collum considers the meaning of ‘home’ in the face of war ravaged areas across the world.

Deena Beverley introduces her new vintage-inspired book, Rachael Jane MacDonald provides a personal account of her vibrant works laden with folklore and superstition, while with more than a casual nod to classic horror films, Karen Suzuki puts the fright into the night-time.

We have plenty more for you, including Christmas gift ideas, the latest books and exhibition reports, news, Embroidery loves, ideas to get you out and about and our what’s on listings.
