About Edith Miller

A woman with dark hair, wearing earrings and a necklace, is examining jewelry displayed on a table. The jewelry includes necklaces, bracelets, and earrings, and there are more jewelry items on the table. In the background, there are other people working and organizing items in what appears to be a workshop or studio with shelves and partitions.

Guided by the classical techniques taught at the Royal School of Needlework, Edith Miller’s hand embroidery reimagines the possibilities of traditional craft. Her practice favours instinctive and unconventional methods, valuing innovation without abandoning tradition. Having worked in both the fashion and film industry, Edith is currently training on the The CHANEL & King’s Foundation Métiers d’art Embroidery Fellowship in Partnership with Le19M in Paris.

Trained at Hampton Court Palace, I am proficient in multiple techniques including Goldwork, Tambour embroidery, Blackwork, Jacobean Crewelwork, Stumpwork, and Silkshading. During my studies I received several awards including those from the Worshipful Company of Needlemakers and the Merchant Taylors.

I have had the pleasure of working for several clients in the UK and abroad, including Tamara Ralph, Erdem, Zandra Rhodes, and more. Through every project, I remain committed to pushing the boundaries of hand embroidery, celebrating the unexpected, and collaborating across disciplines to tell powerful visual stories.
