Sylvie Millen

Sylvie Millen is a self-taught mixed media textile artist, drawing upon a range of materials that fit within many themes. Working intuitively with an experimental approach, allowing the properties of the fabric and fibres to resonate with her emotions, Sylvie produces ethereal organic stitched fibre sculptures.

Living in a small hamlet situated in North Worcestershire, surrounded by beautiful historic countryside, Sylvie loves to walk and explore, taking time to observe close up, nature’s intricate patterns, forms and colours.

“I’m passionate about pushing traditional machine stitching to a different level, taking a no rules approach to emulating nature, working with any material that “speaks to me,” both natural plant fibres, dried seed heads and recycled fibres.”

Sylvie has exhibited her stitched art in Rome and London and is currently working on a group exhibition for a National Trust property. She will also be taking part in the Worcestershire open studios in the summer, based in her garden studio. Get in touch to discuss booking any talks or workshops.
