Sunday Evening Art Gallery — Helen Richman

Helen Richman is an embroidery instructor at the Royal School of Needlework at Hampton Court Palace, London.

Her embroidery journey began when she joined the Royal School of Needlework and completed the three-year apprenticeship, gaining expert knowledge in many fields of hand embroidery.The artist designs and creates her own projects, including stumpwork, a style of embroidery in which the stitched figures are raised from the surface of the work to form a 3-dimensional effect.This style of needlework offers the freedom of combining all sorts of stitches and techniques together in a single design, with a three-dimensional quality.Richman enjoys the finesse and intricacy of goldwork, silk shading and crewelwork. “I particularly enjoyed designing and creating my own projects and I think this is what led me to love Stumpwork so much,” Richman shares.“The playful mixture of threads, fabrics and color; the freedom of combining all sorts of stitches and techniques together in a single design, and the three-dimensional quality of this embroidery.”More of Helen Richman’s remarkable embroidery can be found at https://www.bluebirdembroidery.co.uk,  https://royal-needlework.org.uk/tutor/helen-richman/ and https://www.sofst.org/helen-richman-stitching-britains-wildlife/.
