'Sightings' - An Exhibition by Freya Lines and Reena Makwana - Pictures

Thanks again to everyone who visited 'Sightings' last week - we hope you enjoyed our viewpoint on Clerkenwell! We had a lot of fun putting it together.For those who didn't make it, here are photographs from the show. A huge thanks to Ben Ripley who took these photographs for us (apart from picture 7 which I took off Charlene Lam's Creative Clerkenwell Twitter Account and picture 11). You can see more of Freya's work on her website and do check out her Etsy if there is something you'd like to order! You can visit my website here and my Etsy here.

Thanks to Craft Central for letting us have the Showcase space!

Clerkenwell Embroideries

Here are the eight embroideries I made of Clerkenwell to display at 'Sightings' - A dachshund in St John's Square, browsers in Leather Lane, a hipster in Saffron Hill, walking through Smithfields, loitering outside the Order of St John or taking a tour or having a tantrum.

Clerkenwell Embroideries

I'm currently working on a series of embroideries inspired by the people of Clerkenwell. Since January, I've been taking photos and drawing people from Leather Lane, Smithfields Market and St John's. The embroideries will be shown at Craft Central alongside a few drawings and ceramics in an exhibition with designer Freya Lines in August. Freya will be at Craft Central's 'Made in Clerkenwell' this weekend, so make sure you visit and check out her wonderful products.

Above is a preview of some completed embroideries - one from Leather Lane market which I have posted on here before, two men outside the garden of The Order of St John and a hipster loitering near Saffron Hill. I'll have more details about the exhibition in the coming months.
