We love the ease and convenience of taking online courses and workshops, and are proud to offer members and non-members a diverse programme that makes the joy of stitch accessible to all.

Yet there remains something special about taking an in-person workshop. You have to plan ahead and go to a dedicated space - intentionally giving yourself time to learn and be creative without interruption or distraction.

You’ll meet like-minded people who share the love of embroidery and learning something new.
Meeting an expert tutor opens you up to new ideas and perspectives.

Embroidery is a tactile art with certain techniques easier to learn when someone shows you in real time. or, if you’re a beginner, getting feedback on your first stitches.

Have you been to any in-person embroidery workshops? What did you learn? Tell us your favourite experience in the comments.

Amelia Wylam explores sustainability, biodesign and wellbeing in her work. Inspired by early experiences of sewing with family, her passion for textiles has evolved into an innovative practice that combines traditional craftsmanship with experimental materials and processes. We are delighted that Amelia, one of last year’s Guild Graduates, is leading our Beginners workshop - where you will learn 3-5 basic stitches - on 8 November Aylesbury.

Amelia graduated with a BA (Hons) in Textile Design from Nottingham Trent University with her specialism in embroidery that saw her exploring both hand and machine techniques alongside fabric manipulation. She is committed to sustainability and believes in the power of textiles to foster connection, creativity and community.

Her collection Wisps of Light explores the relationship between natural light and enhanced wellbeing. Drawing inspiration from cyanotypes, light photography and generative AI, the collection captures the fleeting beauty of shifting contours, twisted forms and delicate tonal gradients. Combining naturally dyed silks and root biomaterials with digital and hand embroidery, Amelia creates beautiful pieces for immersive interior hangings or room-dividing screens.

Subtle colour palettes evoke calm, grounding and escapism, while contrasting opacities create shadows that echo the rhythms of changing light.
