Daisy McClay
About
I'm a multi-disciplinary textile artist and designer,
combining illustration, mixed media, embroidery and embellishment.
Using kitsch and sometimes spiritual imagery with hand painted
elements and couture embroidery methods to create ornate,
colourful, maximalist usually bejewelled designs suitable for
both fashion and interior.
Although my background is in Illustration, having studied at
Glasgow School of Art on the Communication Design course, my
heart has always been with the tactile world of textiles. I
have been able to expand and grow as a designer and artist
while studying Textiles at the RCA supported by the Ameea
Scholarship.
My core purpose as a designer and textile artist is to
promote joy and playfulness, something that I believe it is
vital and lacking in the muted political, economic and
social landscape of the 2020’s thus far. In a world of
grey let’s embrace more colour and sparkle!!
