Saturday 15 February 2025, Meet Gabriela Martinez

Saturday 15 February 2025, 14:00 GMT (Greenwich Mean Time)

Online event, hosted on Zoom by Gabriela Martinez of Ofelia & Antelmo

Meet Gabriela Martinez of Ofelia & Antelmo to find out more about their hand-stitched clothing, creative practice and methods of hand-embroidery. This event will consist of a talk, a discussion and a Q&A. 

As a designer and textile artist, Gabriela Martínez Ortiz is the creative force behind Ofelia & Antelmo, a project dedicated to exploring the art of hand embroidery and its dynamic role as a graphic focal point across various mediums. Rooted in my deep admiration for nature, my visual expression is born from a meticulous study of organic forms, manifested through intricate patterns and repetition.

In her practice, she draws on the therapeutic aspects of hand embroidery and its role in memory preservation. I also experiment with embroidery on diverse surfaces, including paper, palm leaves, ceramics, and dried natural materials.

Gabriela's work has been exhibited in galleries and museums across Mexico, Brazil, France, Hong Kong, the United States, Chile, and South Africa. Since 2019, she started teaching embroidery workshops online and in-person, reaching audiences in Mexico, the United States, the UK, Spain, France, Colombia, and Chile.

Gabriela will also teach an online Hand-stitched Clothing workshop on Saturday 14 & Sunday 15 June 2025. Find out more and book your spot by Clicking Here.
