Claire Moynihan's new collection, the 'Bee Identification', will be launching at The Country Life Fair this year.

The collection, which consists of meticulously hand embroidered bees onto felt balls, will be presented at the fair at Fulham Palace on the 27th-28th September.

Claire's work has been exhibited widely, including the Royal Academy Summer Exhibition and at The Courtauld Gallery in London, and is held in international private collections.

The artist uses local alpaca wool for her creations and uses them to promote and celebrate the valuable contribution of insects to our ecosystem.
