Suzanna James is a UK based sustainable textile artist, writer and educator, originally from Carmarthenshire.
In 2022 she graduated with a double-scholarship MA award as a QEST Craft Scholar in Textiles from the Royal College of Art, London. Her research works in response to the words of Louise Bourgeois; “the needle is used to repair damage, its claim to forgiveness” and it was selected as the 2022 RCA Research Symposium Textiles Candidate.
Her practice envisions a regenerative and reparative sustainable textiles practice entitled ‘Caring Cloth’, connected to materials, the place they are from, and the people who make them.
She has recently participated in an Artistic Research Fellowship at KMD Bergen, Norway, and is a New Professional Awardee and research presenter of the Textile Society of America 2024.
She is currently a practice-based researcher for PhD Candidature at the Doctoral School of the University of the Arts, London where she has an embroidery practice for exhibition contexts, alongside working to commission in knitted textiles.

Commission a bespoke piece or collection from Suzanna James
As well as buying from our existing collection of exquisite, one-off designs made by Suzanna James, you can also commission your own unique piece.
We truly believe that nothing compares to having your own personalised work of art created to your exact specifications – made by the best makers in Wales, drawing not only from unique traditions of craftsmanship but also on unequalled skills and innovation.
Any item you buy from Suzanna will be unlike any other, because it hasn’t been machine-made on a factory floor, but lovingly crafted over many hours and shaped by her. Furthermore, it will have the added, enduring value of being able to shape your own personal story through its making.
More than just textile design
Suzanna has her own distinct style, and will bring her own unique social awareness, creativity, expertise and vision to each piece she makes.
By commissioning a bespoke item or collection from her, you aren’t simply buying a contemporary piece of textile art: you are also engaging in a social statement and collaborative process, beginning a relationship with your her that adds an extra dimension to the final piece.
