 Workshop reviews and participants works:

 ‘I have been fortunate enough to have attended a number of Emily’s  fantastic workshops over several years, in fact I have booked onto another one soon. Emily is the most patient and inspirational textile artist you could ever wish to meet. In her workshops Emily is very generous in sharing her  ideas and processes that she has taken years to develop. Participants of all abilities are immediately put at ease with Emily’s gentle, encouraging teaching style. The resulting outcomes are delightful and charming. it’s more relaxing  and calming than a spa day.  Highly recommend’ 
'Emily is an amazing tutor. Her inspiring work, fab teaching methods and really lovely nature makes it an absolute pleasure to attend her workshops. I have been lucky to attend a handful of Emily's workshops and have always come away with new ideas and an inspired confidence to carry on experimenting after the classes. Highly, highly recommended!'
' I would recommend Emily's workshop to anyone; the perfect creative mix of playfulness, exploring new techniques and opening your eyes to using materials in a new way! '​
