Alice Long is a hand embroidery artist with a research-led creative practice that embraces heritage and contemporary craft in the UK.
Through studying art and design in her home in Hampshire, Alice pursued her dedication to the arts into a bachelor’s degree at The Royal School of Needlework. After graduating in 2022 with a degree in Hand Embroidery for Fashion, Interiors and Textile Art, her desire to pursue learning the handcraft introduced the opportunity to study in Paris with the CHANEL & The King’s Foundation Metiers d’Art Embroidery Fellowship, where in July 2024, she graduated under the mentorship of the Parisian Art School Maison Lesage.
Alice is now developing her creative practice through freelancing and community arts engagement.
… a bit more about me
Having grown up by the Solent overlooking the Isle of Wight, I strongly connect to the local community and environment. Frequently travelling to London to attend craft seminars and art events, my identity as an artist is influenced heavily by the accessibility of art in the UK. My passion is to pursue this art and textile heritage in postgraduate education and community projects that promote the benefits and excellence of heritage textile crafts.
