Artist Interview - Sophie Standing

Sophie is a British wildlife artist who has lived in Africa for 22 years. She now lives in Dorset, England. She is moving to Costa Rica in the new year, where a whole new array of wildlife inspirations await!

Sophie produces her artworks by combining a collage of appliquéd fabrics with free motion embroidery. The details of the animals are sewn over the top of the appliqué collage; there is no pen or paint used.

She uses a heavyweight cotton ground fabric which is painted or dyed with botanical printing.

For the appliqué, Sophie mostly uses cotton fabrics from Liberty of London and the Kaffe Fassett Collective (Philip Jacobs, Kaffe Fassett and Brandon Mably). Her sewing threads are 100% cotton and made by Aurifil of Italy. Sophie produces work up to 1.5 meters long, and a single piece of art this size can contain 3000 meters of thread.

Sophie also teaches online and in person. Details of her online courses can be found on her website.

In person workshops are advertised via her instagram and Facebook pages. She has taught in South Africa, New Zealand, Australia, England and the USA.

Her next teaching tour with be in the U.K June/July 2025…..dates and venues to be finalised.
