Explore the newest collection from Liverpool-based textile artist Alison Little, renowned for her innovative approach to contemporary embroidery, crochet, and textile design.

Her latest large-scale, wall-mounted freehand machine embroidery pieces capture everything from iconic Liverpool architecture to bold interpretations of contemporary poetry. Each piece showcases a variety of textile techniques, including:

  • Quilting and appliqué
  • Re-purposed patterned fabrics for sustainable art
  • Dissolvable mediums to create delicate, lace-like edges

Alongside these statement works, Alison presents smaller framed hand embroideries that pioneer the use of photographic imagery within textile art, pushing the boundaries of what fibre-based artwork can achieve.

The collection also includes her celebrated hand-crocheted “Wedding Day” framed pieces—an organic exploration of crochet where mathematical patterning meets artistic shaping, resulting in timeless, elegant designs.

Whether you’re an art collector, gallery curator, or simply passionate about contemporary fibre art, Alison Little’s work embodies the cutting edge of Liverpool’s textile art scene.
