Talks
Claire travels the country sharing her inspiring journey and groundbreaking work in contemporary hand embroidery. In these captivating talks, she explores how traditional stitch techniques are reimagined through unconventional materials, oceanic inspiration, and a life lived on the road.
Whether speaking to embroidery guilds, art students, creative collectives, or curious minds, Claire invites audiences into the bold, textural world of Defiant Embroidery — where boundaries are meant to be pushed and creativity knows no limits.
Talks can be in person or online
