Lora Avedian is a London based multidisciplinary
artist, who graduated with a Masters in Mixed Media Textiles from the Royal
College of Art in 2017. She depicts elements of narrative through textile and craft
processes. Lora uses traditional embroidery and embellishment techniques to
make modern artefacts, which look as beautiful on the body as they do on a
wall. She favours slow processes, focusing on short run and bespoke projects.
Lora’s work is grounded in
history, inspired by antique textiles and folk costume, she often uses scrap
and vintage materials to create her work. Lora has made couture textiles for
interiors and fashion, through collaborations with companies such as The New
Craftsmen, Barbican Centre and Howe. She has showcased her work at London Craft
week and London Design Festival. She also runs workshops
through-out the year
in various locations in a variety of craft techniques.
Lora is represented by The New Craftsmen and shows her soft furnishings at their May Fair showroom. All pieces are for sale via their website. Find her work here
