Elizabeth Ashdown, one of only a few professional passementerie artists working in the UK today, has been credited with reinvigorating this endangered heritage craft. She combines the centuries-old skills with a contemporary aesthetic to create acclaimed artworks. Her master classes in passementerie have a long waiting list, and her work has been featured in publications such as Embroidery Magazine, Pom Pom Quarterly, Crafts Magazine, The Textile Eye, Selvedge, Living Etc, and Homes & Gardens. Her studio is in London, UK. www.elizabethashdown.co.uk
