About me:
I’ve been teaching kids workshops for a number of years now and absolutely love them. Kids really do ask the best questions and they often tell me how relaxing they find my classes.
I take great pride in teaching them to enjoy a non screen activity which is both fun and hugely practical too. I encourage their creativity and to explore their own personality in their work.
I use quality materials and teach based on each individuals ability and needs.
I teach children every week and have a full clean DBS to allow me to work with children which l am happy to supply upon request.
Please see example details and photos of classes below.
➡️ For bookings, l now have a set up a workshop section on my website shop where you can make a purchase which you can find in the link below. In the comments please let me know your child’s name and your email address and will confirm the final project by email and full detail

I can run workshops of up to 10 people at a time and charge per person that attends (minimum 5 people).
I’d truly love to meet you at one of my workshops this year. For all non membership locations, dates and projects please see Craft my Day and Handmade workshop links ❤️

Corporate events - Corporate Wellness days
Having worked in large retailers and corporate roles for over 15 years, l understand how important it is to focus on the health and wellness of a team. When l first started work, most companies used to attempt to boost their Employee satisfaction score down the pub. So l’m pleased to see that evolving and creative and mindful activities top of company agendas.
What if you could give your team the tools and kit they need to manage stressful situations? What if you could give them a platform to slow down and truly relax?
Embroidery workshops for corporate wellness days are a great way to give your team an opportunity to explore something different from the everyday. Embroidery is a portable and mess free craft, which is also perfect for beginners and those that have never picked up a needle and thread before.
Embroidery has many benefits such as:
- Helps reduce anxiety – aids slowing down
- Keeps your brain healthy – gets creativity flowing
- Keeps your eyes sharp – attention to detail
- Helps build confidence – feelings of accomplishment
To name just a few!
I run 2 hour embroidery workshops which are suitable for complete beginners or those with more experience too.
I run groups of up to 10 at a time from your offices or we can find a suitable location. Working in a group of up to 10 allows us to learn the stitches in a nice sized group but also time for me to help individuals with technique and any questions.
For events such as corporate wellness days, l also have a range of designs suitable for mini workshops which would take 30 minutes.
I have a range of ‘off the shelf’ designs that l can run, however l love to create bespoke designs so the topic is in line with your needs.
I’d love to chat to you about boosting your employee wellness with an embroidery workshop. Please get in touch by emailing [email protected]
Craft parties - Start your embroidery journey
Did you know l am also available for Birthday parties, hen parties and craft parties as of January 2023!
Adding in a 2 hour craft session for an event can be a lovely ice breaker and bonding activity. Embroidery with me is mess free, stress free and perfect for all abilities age 9+ and up to 10 people.
I can come to a location of your choice around SW London/Surrey and will provide all the materials needed. All the kits l provide will have written up instructions and video’s so if something isn’t finished on the day it’s possible to finish at home.
Having taught all ages and abilities l’m able to adapt each party to your specific needs and enjoyment.
I have a range of designs that are ‘off the shelf’ and l am also able to create a bespoke project for you and your friends/family to do.
Prices are on request ❤️
Please do get in touch if you have a craft loving youngster who would love to have a craft party, or if you are planning an event. I’m have a full clean DBS and regularly teach kids.
