Millie Potton

I am a devoted, perfectionistic, and resilient beader/embroidery freelance artist. I discovered my passion for embroidery art through my degree at Central Saint Martins. I have multidisciplinary expertise and excellent communication and teamwork skills. I am seeking professional experience in beading and embroidery embellishment within the textiles and fashion industry.

For my final portfolio assignment in the Unit 11 module (a performance in a gallery), I embarked on a deeply personal artistic journey, spending 2 years designing a complex beaded and embroidered bra. This project has been a revelation, revealing that my true passion lies in embellishment. The repetitive motion of beading and embroidery brings me comfort, and this piece is a profound reflection of my deep, emotional connection to the ocean’s beauty and my growing concern for its ecosystems. I aim to create clothes that transcend being simple objects, instead embodying a distinct identity, story, and history. They become more than just garments; they become vessels of stories, beauty, elegance, and emotional connection. I am passionate about using attention to detail and delicacy to foster a deeper appreciation of fashion as an art form. By adding this layer of excellence, I am committed to inspiring a more thoughtful and deliberate approach to ownership and opposing fast-fashion trends.
