Workshops

I offer hand embroidery and textile workshops for beginners and creatives looking to explore techniques like Luneville embroidery and fabric manipulation.

Whether you’re learning from home or joining a studio session, my workshops are designed to help you build real skills and develop your own style.

ONLINE COURSES

Learn embroidery and fabric techniques from home with self-paced online courses. All courses are designed for beginners and include step-by-step video lessons, downloadable materials, and access to a Q&A section where you can ask me questions directly.

All online courses are hosted on my learning platform, Embellishment.design.

Explore the traditional technique of Luneville embroidery, known for its refined detail and couture applications. Perfect for beginners, these courses will guide you through the basics—from framing your fabric to using the tambour hook and creating your first decorative motif.

These courses focus on creative ways to shape, layer, and combine fabrics—from simple textile collages to textured compositions. You’ll learn techniques often used in contemporary embroidery, costume, and wearable art.
