“The perfect tutor. She instinctively knows how to encourage her students individually and brings joy and enthusiasm to the class as a whole." 

Creative Hand Embroidery - 5 week short course  FULLY BOOKED 

By encouraging a more experimental approach, this short course aims to dispel the stuffiness sometimes associated with hand embroidery. Each week will concentrate on a different group of stitches through a series of practice and themed samplers. Along the way there will be the opportunity to consider both the current and historic context of British embroidery.

Tuesdays 10.30am-1.30pm

First class 24th September

Book through the venue: New Brewery Arts, Cirencester

"I really learnt a lot on your course, as well as stitches you gave me the freedom to do anything, and not have to be the perfectionist and all neat and tidy. My mother was an accomplished embroiderer and I always felt I couldn't do embroidery as she would be so critical. But, yes, after your class, I know I can!”
