AMB Emb

Amy is a self-taught embroidery artist based in Kilkenny, specialising in intricate, hand-stitched designs inspired by Ireland’s landscapes and folklore. What started as a hobby quickly turned into a passion, as she spent years honing her skills through research, experimentation, and countless hours of stitching. Without formal training, Amy developed her techniques through online resources, embroidery manuals, and studying historical textile work. She has mastered a range of styles, from delicate silk shading to bold, textured crewelwork, blending traditional Irish embroidery with modern design influences. Through persistence and self-guided learning, she has built a distinctive embroidery practice that has been showcased in local craft fairs and exhibitions.
