Julie Heaton | Life Is Beautiful Part 2 [NX026]

In this episode of NeedleXChange I interview Julie Heaton.

Julie Heaton is a Bristol-based machine embroidery artist whose incredible illustrations are borne from tragedy.

When her husband ended his own life in 2009, it sparked a creative journey that continues to this day and in this second part of our conversation we talk about how her experience at the Royal College of Art helped her process her experience and turn a creative corner.
