Professor
After being a journalist for almost two decades, Clara decided to put writing aside and put "thread in her ideas". The idealist who chose journalism hoping to change the world, however, still lives within her.
Now that she has put aside her pencil, her needles are her tools, embroidery allowing her to let color bring the images that make up her works to life. She is also proficient in knitting, crocheting, spinning and weaving and also uses these techniques to express her thoughts.
The make do and mend philosophy is part of my life. Whenever possible, I create my items using traditional needlework techniques to give a second life to the materials and objects I collect all around me.
