À propos de l'auteur

Travelling by trawler to Iceland on regular holiday visits, Jóna Sparey became increasingly influenced throughout her childhood by the rich artistic heritage of this unique country. At school in London her most hated subjects was embroidery, but when confronted by the beautiful exhibits at the National Museum, Reykjavik, she fell completely in love with the rich and colourful traditional designs. She began translating the photographs she had taken onto graph paper, painstakingly reproducing and adapting the original patterns and working them into stunning canvaswork embroideries. Students first attended Jóna's classes in 1984, and her natural ability to teach, encourage and entertain, as well as the kits she supplies and the many features on her work which have appeared in national magazines, have resulted in many hundreds of British embroiderers stitching thousands of Icelandic Designs.
