Lizzy Emery is a published writer, educator and artist whose work focuses on histories of women’s crafts. She is in her final year of undertaking a PhD at Flinders University, where she has been a scholarship holder since 2017. Her doctoral research project is focused on histories of feminist craft from the mid-1970s to the present day. Lizzy is an avid crafter who teaches a range of textile crafts from her home studio in Adelaide’s inner-west. She has also taught as a sessional lecturer at both The University of South Australia and Flinders University, teaching subjects including Textiles Studio, Art History and Women’s Studies. In her work as a crafter Lizzy facilitates a range of community based workshops and projects. Her pedagogical approach is based on creating non-hierarchical encounters between artist and participant to facilitate meaningful experiences of creativity where both parties learn from each other. Along with her craft practice Lizzy is interested in anarchist philosophy, Witchcraft, foraging, ecological sustainability and gardening. She is the proud mama of five lively chickens, who she raises in collaboration with her partner.
