Product Story
Influenced by Arts and Crafts era print designs and English gardens, this bolster cushion is typical of Lora’s work, which often translates elements of narrative into stitch. The palette is inspired by changing seasons – the blue hydrangea flowers offer a pop of colour against the rusty-orange leaves.

Process
Each element of this piece was crafted and stitched into place by hand. The hydrangea petals are made from laser cut vintage silk taffeta, which are applied individually to the base using a machine. The hand-cut linen leaves are appliquéd onto linen using viscose thread.
Process
Multidisciplinary artist Lora Avedian depicts elements of narrative through textile and craft processes, employing traditional embroidery and embellishment techniques to craft modern designs. Following a successful career in set design and embroidery, Lora was awarded a Masters in Mixed Media Textiles from the Royal College of Art in 2017. She favours slow processes, focusing on short run and bespoke projects, and prefers to use antique and one-off materials such as cords, braids and ribbons when creating her pieces.
