A relaxed, experimental and mindful embroidery class, introducing you to hand embroidery. We will explore colour, create texture and develop shapes, using a wide variety of yarns, threads and beads and learning different embroidery stitches at the same time.
This class is perfect for those new to embroidery or even improvers who just want to learn this contemporary way of embroidering. Ruth will help you to create your own individual and unique piece of work. We will work on a 7” wooden hoop, and you will be shown options for backing and finishing the hoop ready to take home and hang.

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!
