About & Contact

My name is Pam Martin and I'm a stitch maker with a passion for creativity, textiles and all things Somerset.  Since I held my first needle as a young child, I've explored stitch in many shapes and forms and work by traditional textile methods and machines.  Of recent years I've developed a preference for working with eco and sustainable textiles and combining textile techniques in new ways.  


I've been fascinated to find that working with textiles is very much in my genes.  Stitchers, spinners and weavers feature strongly in my family tree and I have a mind that their lives and skills have greatly shaped my creative passions.
I am lucky to live and work surrounded by the amazing Somerset Levels landscape and I love to travel and explore the homelands of my ancestors. I have an equal passion for photography and balancing this with my love of stitch is often a tough call!
I am an inveterate teacher and this has been a constant throughout my working life.  I hold a Post Graduate Certificate in Education and an MA in Adult Education.  Learning for life is my mantra and I take great pleasure in developing my knowledge and skills and similarly supporting others.
