 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! '​

Choose from my 2025 Workshop options:

Wall Hangings

My most popular workshop- Explore my original wall hanging method developed in my early work. Use a range of mixed media methods to create your own landscape or abstract wall hanging. First you will experiment by colouring your own fabrics and printing/mark-making with found objects. Once you have a collection of pieces, I will share my methods of constructing these bespoke pieces into wall hangings. Finish off with textured hand stitch, contemporary couching and tactile embellishments for decoration.

Textile Surfaces

An experimental day focusing on exploring materials - This workshop is less focused on a finished product and is more about the idea of 'exploring and freeing up' The day is designed to push the boundaries of materials and inspire you to create exciting textures and surface. Experiment with white stitch on neutral papers and fabrics  before applying print and colour. Then use these backgrounds to create your own selection of exciting samples by exploring bold decorative embellishment and finish with contemporary couching and textured embroidery.

Mixed Media Meadows

A new workshop that explores texture - Create two small mixed media meadow landscapes using a range of techniques. This workshop is all about exploring contemporary texture and creating tactile layers. Choose to create a meadow or something more abstract. Begin by building up heavily textured surface with stitch and applique before adding colour. I will then share my embroidery techniques and a range of ways to achieve surface decoration to apply the final details to your own beautiful meadow pieces. 

3D Embroidered Wrap

Similar to the mixed media meadow workshop but with a 3D outcome-Create your own 3D textile wrap using contemporary mixed media techniques and textural applique. This piece could be a landscape or a abstract design. Start the day by building surface with hand-stitch before using paint to apply your chosen colour scheme to your work. Finish with pops of embroidery, fibre techniques and textural applique before constructing into the round. (Your finished piece will be able stand alone or can be designed to wrap around a vase/jar)

Christmas Tree Wall Hanging

You will begin by experimenting with  print and mark-making to colour a range of fabrics. Once you have a collection of samples and pieces, I will share my methods of constructing these pieces into 3 hangings using stitch, trapping and binding. Finish off with optional machine sewing, hand stitch and tactile embellishments for decoration.

Christmas Decorations and Cards
