WORKSHOPS WILL BEGIN AGAIN ON 20th MAY 2021 WITH SOCIAL DISTANCING AND VIDEO DEMOS. KITS AVAILABLE NOW!
I am Cathy Reavy and my hand embroidery workshops are based in the beautiful village of Alstonefield in the Peak District National Park. "It's like a Spa day without taking your clothes off", said a regular attendee on our workshops.
My kits include high quality materials and come with an online step by step YouTube tutorial. "I wanted to say how much I enjoyed the tutorial. It was so clear, I had no problems following it"
Whether you are in Alstonefield on a workshop, or at home working from a kit, it's important to me that you feel inspired, relaxed and encouraged by your experience! I aim to deliver creative, high quality workshops that are affordable and friendly. If you can't travel to Alstonefield, I want my online videos to take you through the whole process from start to finish, with the same high quality materials. I also have some free stitch tutorials on my YouTube channel and am publishing free weekly stitch videos as part of the Stitch Wheel.
You won't be given a 'shopping list' of things to bring with you to a workshop - everything is provided, including my home-made cakes & biscuits served by my husband, John. With a love of travel, I am keen to revive embroidery traditions and techniques from around the world and I love to create my own designs whilst working out the most straightforward methods of teaching. Beginners are welcome and encouraged, but I cater for a wide range of abilities - and I try to keep the 'admin' simple!
As a result of a holiday in 2018, we have been pleased to sponsor Waterberry Community Projects supporting educational programmes in rural Zambia, with profits from selected workshops being used to fund the High School fees of a child called Happy. To read more about my story, go to Cathy Reavy. Take a look at the current list of workshops by clicking here. Many workshops are available as kits with online tutorial and they can be viewed here.
Special arrangements are in place during the Covid-19 Pandemic - click here to view
