WORKSHOP INFO
I offer various contemporary stitch and embellishment workshops for beginners up to intermediate and advanced stitchers. All of my workshops include materials, and I can guarantee a fun, creative and relaxing day!
I love to share my unusual and colourful techniques and processes, and ensure that everyone leaves my workshop with a unique sample or textile piece. Generally I run workshops in various venues in central York, Leeds and Bradford with additional special venues throughout the year. I also run regular online classes for those who live further afield!
I am also the Young Embroiderer's leader for the York branch, and teach contemporary and traditional embroidery and embellishment workshop for children aged 5-14. If you would like more information about the YE workshops please get in touch here .

I have previously ran group workshops with schools, textile groups, art and craft groups, art organisations and festivals amongst many others.
