Amber Wakley
Graduating from Birmingham City University with First Class Honours in Textile Design,Amber Wakley specialises in embroidery and lace making.
Amber is particularly interested in the positive and negative space created by the lines and spaces of lace structures and the opportunity that this creates for light and shadow.
She explores these qualities using traditional lace making techniques and also machine stitch to mimic these qualities.
Amber is interested in building on her basic lace making knowledge to help try and preserve this fascinating, highly skilled technique, so that it can be passed on to future generations.
