Tutor Collaboration

Our work with Natalie

We have been fortunate to enjoy a wonderful and ongoing collaboration with Natalie since 2021. From beginner kits to advanced courses, she continues to showcase her unique vision for fine embroidery, offering stitchers the chance to learn, explore, and create under her guidance.

Our partnership has also extended to unforgettable retreat experiences where Natalie's teaching has inspired students in some of the UK’s most beautiful settings - including St Andrews and Askham Hall. Natalie has even posed as our very own Lady Anne Clifford, the inspiration for our Lady Anne's Retreats.

Looking ahead, we are thrilled to continue this journey in Barcelona in 2026, where Natalie will share her knowledge, creativity, and infectious enthusiasm with another gathering of needlework enthusiasts.
