Bonnie Magee is a textile artisan specialising in hand embroidery. She is a graduate of the CHANEL & King’s Foundation Métiers d’Art Embroidery Fellowship, in partnership with Le19M, and holds a First-Class BA (Hons) in Textile Design from the Glasgow School of Art, where she developed her award-winning collection, The Feminine Grotesque.

Through her exploration of materiality, process and craftsmanship, Bonnie uses needlework as a means of communication. Her practice explores storytelling through expressive embroidery, with a focus on finding beauty within the macabre. Drawing textures from the world around her, Bonnie explores her intimate connection to nature, with feathers and the essence of birds emerging as recurring motifs in her work.

Bonnie’s multi-award-winning collection has been featured in publications including the BBC, Dezeen and The Skinny. Her work has also been exhibited across the UK, including at The Garrison Chapel and The Knitting & Stitching Show. In recognition of her creativity and innovation, she has received the Contemporary Needlework Prize 2024, the Sanderson Industry Prize 2024 and the TEX+ Arts Award 2024. She was also shortlisted for the Global Creative Showcase 2024.

Bonnie currently works in the industry as a freelance embroiderer and creative sampler, having worked with established names including FEVVERS and English National Ballet. Alongside her professional practice, she is developing a new collection of works to be exhibited in 2027.
