Harriet Riddell, Textile Artist

We are thrilled to bring you Harriet Riddell, a very talented textile artist who creates scenes and portraits with her sewing machine.

Harriet’s electric sewing machine is powered by a bicycle!  Yes, we will be hoping that some of you will be up for a short spin to enable Harriet to show us her stitching skills.

This adventurous artist has travelled to many unusual locations from the informal settlements of Nairobi to the tea fields of the Himalayas. Finding ways to power a sewing machine in remote locations has been an ongoing theme with Harriet and she is looking forward to sharing her stories with you. See more at https://institchyou.com/
