Passion for the Hand Made

I am a textiles and surface designer currently studying for my MA in Textiles and Fashion at Bath Spa University...

I have a passion for the hand made, an ever-growing national trend that brings designs to life. I am exploring and researching designers, artists, textiles artists and graphic dsigners with the same passion for slow design.

Follow my progress as I explore amazing designs in paper craft, hand embroidery, screen prints and ultimately a new wave of extreme innovation in the world of art and design.

Evelin Kasikov

Evelin Kasikov uses a process of which she developed called CMYK embroidery- cyan, magenta, yellow and black- which is a hand made printing process that mimics the halftone screen process. Kasikov wanted to use a slow process to complement her graphic aesthetic- where imperfections and the sense of humanity can occur, and she can be more connected to her own work.


Kasikov prepares dot screens and then replicates these into a cross-stitch pattern.


I love the idea of our computer generation translating the mechanical into something tactile injecting life into something that can not be acheived with a computer but using the digital aesthetic.
