Tansy Blaik-Kelly
Uckfield, East Sussex, UK
Tansy’s love of hand stitch, texture, geometry, and symmetry are all evident in her work. With her magpie-like hoarding of offcuts and haberdashery, Tansy has a seemingly never-ending pick & mix of inspiration for her work.
A former career in theatrical costume, and haute couture in London’s West End, has helped influence, yet simplify, her minimalist and graphic design aesthetic over the years; her beaded and embroidered gowns have adorned celebrities and royalty on many a red carpet.
