Emily Sladen is an experimental textile designer specialising in unique embroidery techniques. Working 30 miles offshore in her studio on the wild and remote island of St Agnes in the Isles of Scilly she is inspired by the raw beauty of the Atlantic ocean.

 

Living in such a remote location plays a key part in her making process with no textile banks and it being so expensive and difficult to get rid of waste on the islands, she recycles yarns and fabrics from across the community to create eco-conscious and sustainable collections.So far her work has been recognized by Li Edelkoort in New York Textile Month, Mix Magazine and Embroidery Magazine among others.
