Workshop Testimonies
" I was in a little bit of a creative lull and this was just what I needed! I had very little embroidery experience but with patience and instruction from Jess I created a beautiful piece. If anyone was thinking about having a go then I would recommend going to a workshop."
"LOVED IT. All materials provided is an understatement! Thank you!"
"I have been to 2 workshops and I always feel you are very generous in sharing your ideas and techniques which I really appreciate - thank you"
"Very enjoyable and lots of inspiring fabrics and papers to use"
Very friendly atmosphere, with help wherever needed, and a fascinating array of materials.."
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 and Leeds with additional special venues throughout the year.
I am also the Young Embroiderer's leader for the York branch, and teach contemporary and tradtional embroidery and embellishment workshop for children aged 5-14. If you would like more information about the YE workshops please get in touch here .
