Esther's ongoing Creative Textiles and Embroidery Groups meet monthly throughout the year, with a range of embroidery, surface design and mixed media workshops, which complement a series of exciting stitched textile projects based around a theme. In 2027, our theme will be "Coastal" and throughout the year, we’ll work on a series of exciting textile projects that are all connected to coastal landscapes and the sea itself.
The year includes:
-
11 monthly meetings, which will be a combination of exciting taught embroidery and mixed media workshops and project work, such as printing on fabric, fabric collage, fabric manipulation, hand embroidery, fabric dying, embellishment and lots, lots more!

Create a series of beautiful textile pieces, based around a "coastal" theme. Examples of past projects include making a wall hanging, textile vessels, stitched books, picture frames, 3D objects and cushion covers.

Past student work
Every year the work produced by students in Esther's Creative Textiles and Embroidery group is absolutely stunning! Over the course of the year, each person develops their own unique style and way of working, with the opportunity and guidance to take projects in all sorts of different directions, depending on their interests and goals. In 2026, Esther organised a beautiful exhibition of student work at Denmans Garden entitled "the Tree of Life". You can see a gallery of some of the work on display here.
