Fine cell work.

Fine Cell work. 

Fine cell work is a company set up to give in mates within prison the opportunity to learn a skill and to master that skill. Lady Anne who set up the organisation thought that needle point would be a good skill for the women in prisons to learn as she was always told by her mother in law that needle work had a very therapeutic quality and that was something that she wanted to pass on. Fine cell work allows the women to create bespoke pieces and for them to earn money from them I found their work through looking up luxury home items it was mainly the cushions that caught my attention. A lot of the designs are ones from very well known textile and interior designers what I like about it is knowing the fact that hand embroidery isn't a dying craft. Now we have all these machines that we programme to do our work for us, but I don't get quite the same satisfaction from it as when I do my hand embroidery. It was Fine cell work that reminded me of this and although I'm glad I know how to use machines like the ethos I want to go back to what I know and what I enjoy so I can master it as well. I have picked out the designs below as I thought the colours and the designs I think relate to the work that I'm doing right now.
