Grace Gatley is a textile artist specialising in mixed media textiles. Her work combines free-hand machine stitch and hand embroidery to create illustrative, quirky pieces of textile art, accessories and homewares.

Lovely cottons and linens are used as a ground to work on to, while found fabrics and haberdashery are used in combination with applique and print to build up interesting layers of surface on which to embellish. Soft neutrals, pastels and neon brights of a floral, stripey and polka-dotty nature are favoured fabric flavours!

Grace studied at Falmouth University in the beautiful harbour town of Falmouth, Cornwall. It is safe to say that her degree was powered by tea. Indeed, her work is still mainly inspired by tea, as well as the beauty of this glorious earth, and lovely things that people say.
All pieces are designed and hand-crafted in Cheltenham.
