Grayson Perry Cross Stitch Kit : Printed Canvas

“I think when we talk of craft, we talk of a certain set of processes, whether that be clay or glass or jewellery or textiles… and we look back through history instantly.”

We're thrilled to present this Grayson Perry cross stitch kit, inspired by the brilliant Grayson Perry CBE RA. He's the wonderfully eccentric, yet remarkably down-to-earth, English artist, writer, and broadcaster that we all know and love. Emily has captured him here as ‘Claire’, his fabulous female alter-ego.

Like Emily, we're utterly transfixed by Grayson’s work. He also embodies that unique British eccentricity that we find so appealing. Original characters like him, who once defined these islands, are sadly becoming less common as thoughts and deeds become more alike. Grayson serves as a fantastic reminder to be authentic, be bold, and dare to stray from the herd. Something we wholeheartedly agree with!
