“Beautiful, calming, and so inspiring! Not only is this special book filled with lovely images, textures and colours, it also holds Fleur’s encouraging words. The Untamed Thread is a breath of fresh air, and true inspiration for anyone wanting more creativity in their life.” 

Danielle Krysa, The Jealous Curator

The Untamed Thread takes you inside Fleur Woods’ contemporary fibre art studio in rural Aotearoa New Zealand, where her practice is as untamed as the natural landscape that inspires her — free of rules, guided by intuition and joy in the process.

Embracing stitch’s slow, contemplative nature, connect with your creative spirit through her tips, hints and techniques to reimagine embroidery as a contemporary tool for mark-making.

Taking you on a journey through colour, texture, flora, textiles and stitch, alongside the magical moments, happy accidents, perfect coincidences and ridiculous randomness of the artistic process, this is a book for anyone wanting to connect with their inner creative self.
