Next-Level Goldwork from Michelle Agnew

Michelle Agnew wanted more for her designs than traditional gold work and stump work techniques could provide. So, using those techniques as a foundation, she developed (and is still developing) her own approaches. The result is gold work sculpture that adds a new dimension to the gold-thread world of needle arts. Her efforts have earned her a Hand & Lock prize and resulted in a full-time needlework business that, in addition to her own art, involves teaching, working in the fashion industry, exhibiting, and creating commissioned pieces. After you hear her story, take some time to visit her website and social-media channels and absorb her terrific art.—Gary Links: Michelle Agnew's website: https://www.michelleagnew.ca/ Michelle Agnew on Instagram:   / michelleagnewart   Michell Agnew on TikTok:   / michelleagnewart   Music licensed from http://www.purple-planet.com
