MEET THE Maker: Amelia Ayerst

Firstly, thank you for subscribing to our email listing. We are excited to announce that once a month we will now be sharing some of our favourite makers with you. To begin, we thought we should introduce ourselves.

Amelia Ayerst is the maker and founder of DUO-HUE. She developed the stitch whilst studying at the Royal College of Art (RCA). Amelia has a background in CMF design (Colour, Materials and Finish). Previous projects include work with Priestmann Goode as well as showcasing designs at Somerset House for Design Week. Her latest work was with Dyson on their automotive project. Amelia worked closely with James Dyson and the design team on designing the interior and exterior materials on the car. You can see Amelia’s designs and models that she worked on here.

All of Amelia’s embroidery is designed and created in her studio in Bristol. Due to her CMF background, she can work with designers on creating bespoke embroidery to suit different concepts. Exploring colour, material and pattern to bring a concept to life. Amelia is now doing what she loves and launched DUO-HUE on the 10th of Feb 2021.

Our first ‘Meet the Maker’ will be Hannah Reefat who creates beautiful hand and machine embroidered textiles. We will be chatting to her about her pieces and find out what inspires her.

You can read this article on the 25th of April.
