Artist information
Bethany Hughes, the designer behind Blue Coppice, has stitched, drawn and made ‘things’ since she was a very small child. No egg box, piece of string or pot of glue was safe – and still isn’t. Her quirky, whimsical counted cross-stitch and embroidery designs are inspired and informed by the beautiful English countryside, stately homes and historic textiles, a lifetime spent in art galleries and museums and her degrees in MA(Hons) Landscape Architecture from Edinburgh College of Art and BA(Hons) Humanities with Classical Studies from the Open University.
Each Blue Coppice design pack includes charts, a list of recommended materials, comprehensive step-by-step stitching and assembly instructions, stitch diagrams and full colour pictures of the finished items.
Bethany likes nothing better than talking all things stitching and enjoys speaking to groups about the stories and research behind her work as well as teaching to her own designs. If you’d like Bethany to speak or run a workshop at your local group (either via Zoom or face to face), please contact her on hello@bluecoppice.com
