Get in touchWhy Join Our Workshops
Reading about embroidery is a great start, but there is no substitute for learning with a tutor and a group. In our live sessions you can ask questions as they arise, get feedback on your stitching and benefit from the shared experience of other participants. We keep groups small so that everyone receives attention, and we add new dates regularly so you can find a session that fits your schedule. Many of our participants return for further workshops or recommend us to friends who want to try embroidery.
