WORKSHOP INFO
I offer various contemporary stitch and embellishment, mixed media workshops and short courses for beginners up to intermediate and advanced stitchers. All of my workshops include materials, and I can guarantee a fun, creative and relaxing day, with a focus on experimentation and enjoying the creative process.
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 Yorkshire with additional special venues throughout the year. I also run regular online classes for those who live further afield. All my classes that I teach will be listed through my social media pages, and through my calendar below.
Group Workshops
If you are a group or organisation looking for a workshop idea, please get in touch. I can travel to a venue of your choice to host a group workshop. I have previously ran group workshops with textile groups, craft groups, art organisations and festivals amongst many others. Workshops can be tailored to suit you and your group so you can get the most out of the class. Group workshops can also be hosted via Zoom for those who are further away!
School/Education Workshops
I offer both in-person school workshops and online sessions - live or pre-recorded. I travel across the UK to teach within education, and my pricing also includes embellishment materials, so your students can use my recycled sequins and beads to create their textiles. My online workshops can also include material packs posted across to the school in advance of the session, so that you are working with the same materials as myself. All school workshop enquiries - please send an email or contact me using the workshop form below
UPCOMING WORKSHOPS 2026
