Workshops - an option of one or two day workshops, learning the classic techniques and stitches.
Many of my overseas workshops are hosted by the owners of needlework stores and curators of museums, without whose support we could not arrange, from our side of the Atlantic, these enjoyable and educational events. All levels of experience are most welcome, as more often than not these rediscovered historic techniques are new to everyone present. It would be extremely helpful to my planning if you would please let me know if you would be potentially interested in attending a workshop, particularly one of those listed above.
Lecture subjects include : Historic British Crewel Work Crewel Work, Needlepoint and other Embroidered Textiles in British Castles, Country Houses and Museums The Jacobean Bed
