Embroidery Classes

 Embroidery and Craft Classes

I have started teaching (mainly) hand embroidery, within the craft classes that are held on Wednesdays  at the African Cultural Association, where it is also possible to learn about bag-making and other craft techniques. The classes are informal, a lot of fun and tend to cater for individual needs.

 The approach is based on sharing our knowledge and experience in what often becomes a two way process (there is no embroidery police or anything of the sort around!).

Sorting threads and making bundles
