Embroidery Now
Winchester 2009
We are now half-way through our third season and have, so far, offered Florence Daisy Collingwood's brilliant class on a traditional gold sampler and have followed up in similar fine style with our latest teacher, Helen McCook's wonderful class on Tassels and, on 20 June, Jessica Aldred, another newcomer to EN, on Silk Shading for use in a cushion cover. See the pictures on the Tutors page.
Below is the remainder of the syllabus for 2009 with Shelley Cox waiting eagerly to see you on 18 July with her ideas for Ribbonwork. Bookings are coming in fast but there are still a few spaces on almost every class except Millefiori.
We are always keen to receive comments (even critical ones) and suggestions for improvements such as further techniques etc so please click on the Feedback page and let us know what you think.
Our aim continues to be to offer exciting and inspiring embroidery classes, concentrating on traditional hand embroidery taught by our talented and experienced tutors. All are professional working embroiderers, well skilled in combining a wealth of fresh ideas with many dynamic new approaches to embroidery.
Notice the practicality of the courses! These are not just technique in isolation, but technique related to what you can actually do with it.
