DQ Blog – Digital Crochet with Imogen Luddy

Imogen Luddy digitises and reinvents traditional craft methods, writes DQ editor Alice Blackwood.

January 10th, 2011

Hi everyone – a very happy new year to you all!

Here’s something to kick us off…

She laser-cuts, embroiders, crochets and potters (in the ceramic sense); she applies innovative techniques to traditional crafts… as you can see she’s digitised antique lace, doilies and embroidered samplers to produce some really interesting results.

Here she talks a little more about her work…
