British artist Shauna Richardson coined the term Crochetdermy to describe her unique body of work - realistic life-size animal sculpture created using crochet.
Using traditional craft to create contemporary art, Richardson has received international critical acclaim.
Commissions include the Guardian Weekend Magazine’s ‘Very Very Unofficial Royal Portrait’ - Richardson depicted Prince Harry as a ginger baboon, and the Lionheart Project - the largest single-handed crochet sculpture in the world which toured the country in a giant mobile glass case throughout 2012.
Crochetdermy pieces have become highly collectible and commissions are created for collections around the world.
