Fiber Talk with Sian Fish

Fiber Talk

Midnight Whispers design by Sian Fish.

The Dead Unicorn Society design by Sian Fish.

Blackwork is our topic this week and our guest is Sian Fish of The Urban Stitches. The show is sponsored by the Embroiderers’ Guild of America and Sassy Jacks Stitchery. Sian Fish is a self-taught stitcher and designer who loves to work in the macabre/gothic world of needlework design. But not all of her topics are focused on the “dark side.” She has a unique talent for putting a different twist on “regular” topics. No matter what the subject is, it’s almost alway worked on black or gray ground with black threads. She also does amazing work creating portraits with blackwork and regularly conducts popular SALs. Her work is quite unique in not only the world of blackwork, but in needlework design in general. After you enjoy our conversation, visit her website to learn more and consider participating in her SALs. They’re approachable for stitchers of all levels and will give you a chance to try blackwork.–Gary
