Well it's been a great couple of weeks counting do

Well it's been a great couple of weeks counting down our podium winners of the Mr X Stitch Contemporary Needlework Prize for 2023. The outpouring of support for our winners in the comments really highlights to us the community we have built over the years!

So here it goes...we're down to the first place winners! Taking 1st place in our Hand Embroidery category is the unstoppable Manya Goldman 🔥 Here is a snippet about Manya's practice:

"Manya’s needlepoint technique, not only refers to the photography which lies behind her work, but juxtaposes the traditions of painting with the discipline of female textile work, such as samplers. Through her use of the medium she works to unpick the meaning of a moment, to reconstruct another perspective or bring into being the presence of someone or something misplaced." - @goldie._.m

CONGRATULATIONS ⚡️⚡️⚡️ and once again a huge thank you to @bytinafrancis for sponsoring the Hand Embroidery Category!
