A fascinating talk from North Manchester based Melanie who like nearly all our speakers this year developed their passion for stitch from grand parents. Having completed a design degree, Melanie began to create a sketchbook using different surfaces to create a story. This work led to an interest in gender stereotypes & ultimately in metal & the humble beer can. One of her first objects was a fabulous lampshade called 'Love Affair' & then a series of stories in cans.
