Meet Viv of Hen’s Teeth Art

by tkogut on December 17, 2019

As I fell down the rabbit hole of Instagram one day, I discovered Viv Silwka and was awestruck. I’ve been following her work ever since as she continues to delight my eyes with her whimsical works.

Viv combines embroidery, sewing, fabric, buttons, paper and painting into beautiful pieces of work…some art for display only but also many functional items.

“Painted buzzing bees, embroidered flowers, hand drawn animals and characters make up the world of Hen’s Teeth Art. Telling tiny tales in textiles.”

“I live in the middle of England in the county of Staffordshire, surrounded by pretty countryside. I work from a cozy, wooden studio in our garden. I have all my life collect vintage textiles and ephemera. I happily combine my love of stitching and drawing with these discarded, worn pieces from the past.” – Viv Silwka
