In-Person Workshops
Embroidery has come a long way since Jane Austin’s heroines would sit and sew in the drawing room – we’ve brought the pastime back with our own modern take on the original. Our beginners embroidery classes in London give you all the basic techniques you will need to continue this therapeutic craft at home.
Our beginners embroidery workshops teach you five popular stitches including back stitch, satin stitch, straight stitch and the French knot. You’ll be able to choose a fun design (or a drawing of your own) to embroider yourself using all the new skills you have learnt.
Your embroidery design will stay in the hoop and you can hang it on the wall for show! Once you’ve mastered the skill, you can try napkins, sheets, pillowcases… In fact, there won’t be a soft furnishing in your house left unadorned!

Punch Needle crafting is a very relaxing and therapeutic craft. It's a cross between embroidery and rag rug latch hooking. You can create two different effects at the same time with your tool. One side is flat stitches and the other side has a loopy shaggy look but you can mix and match these effects on the same side for added dimension and texture.
We will be using a beautiful wooden punch needle tool and wooden embroidery hoop with specialised monks cloth fabric for the very best results!

You may recognise this type of embroidery from your Grandma's home in the 60s, but now it is back! Well, actually it never really left. Bargello is a truly unique form of embroidery as there are both specific stitches and patterns required to make Bargello, Bargello.
During the class you will be introduced to the typical 'Vertical' stitch used throughout all Bargello, and then you'll get your head around the geometric patterns which are also characteristic of Bargello. You'll be stitching in no time, either one of our patterns or your own design, as our tutor is on hand to teach you how to use this unique form of embroidery to design your own unique pattern. Bargello can be used on normal fabric-like needlepoint fabric but we're using plastic canvas so that you can turn your Bargello design into a coaster! Or you can sew them up to create a pencil holder, plant pot, tissue box cover even.
