So taken was I with the work of Charlotte Farrant this week, that I was desperate to drive six hours to Birmingham this weekend to see it in person at the NECC. However my plans are thwarted by a broken van and impossible workload, but I do hope to catch it on its travels at some point. Charlotte acheived a First class BA(hons) Hand Embroidery from the Royal School of Needlework and won the Hand and Lock Student prize in 2025.
This is her Codification of Stitch coat Charlotte was inspired by the life and work of Anne Lister commonality known as Gentleman Jack. Charlotte’s project translated Anne’s iconic phrase "I am not made like any other I have seen, I dare believe myself to be different from any other who exists” into a coded system of embroidery for her stunning stitched coat, a classification method for stitch, resulting in a code which can be used within embroidery, creating hidden messages represented through the stitches used within a piece of work.
