Teacher Plus
Embroidery Artist

Theresa Wensing is a Cologne-based embroidery artist.
She studied media and cultural studies and works full-time as a project manager. Embroidery came into her life as a lockdown hobby: she wanted to use the time inside to do something productive and not scroll through her phone all day. Since then, embroidery has developed into Theresa's creative outlet, which helps her to meditatively escape from the hectic, completely digitized everyday life.

Today she produces her own digital designs which she sells through her Etsy shop and already has over 100,000 followers on Instagram where she shares her embroidery projects and patterns.
