Shauna Richardson is a British artist renowned for pioneering Crochetdermy® — life-sized, realistic animal sculptures created using crochet. Her work challenges the boundaries between craft and art, using a traditionally domestic medium in bold, often subversive ways. With a sharp sense of humour throughout, Richardson reclaims and redefines crochet as a powerful contemporary art form. Notable works such as the monumental Lionheart Project and the provocative APE-APE sculptures showcase her technical mastery and conceptual wit. Through these pieces, she has elevated textile art on the international stage, reshaping perceptions of both craft and art.
