Author Biography

Internationally acclaimed author and teacher Hazel Blomkamp has dabbled with all the needlecrafts since childhood and when she is not traveling or teaching, she still embroiders in front of the television every night. She has been designing for more than two decades. Preferring to design projects which appear to be traditional, she pushes the boundaries by introducing other forms of needlecraft into traditional techniques, exploring further in everything that she does.

Along with designing, she runs a busy website from home. She teaches at her home studio and travels throughout the world teaching embroidery and fine beadwork. She is a regular contributor to South African and Australian embroidery magazines and is a columnist for South African Stitches Magazine. Her previous books, Crewel Twists and Crewel Intentions, taking Jacobean embroidery to a whole new level, are very popular world-wide and reprint regularly.
