Embroiderers get top rating.

The first of two embroidery workshops, run by the Maidenhead Embroiderers' Guild proved a great success. Held in the Teasdale's beautiful barn near Cookham dean church, happy workshoppers commented:

Thoroughly enjoyed workshop. Very informative, good instructors and help with project.

Really good fun, good introduction to embroidery, very helpful instructors. Thank you!

An excellent 2 hour introduction to using felt, sequins and a variety of stitching. Overseen by Loetitia, our group of 9 were carefully guided from cutting and stitching to make the final product. Well organised and enjoyable.

Lovely morning, I really enjoyed myself. It is so good to complete a project and not have half a job that lingers for years in a drawer. Good timing to get it done in 2 hours - very good tuition. 10/10!!

The Guild is holding another workshop at 10am on Saturday 21st May - 'Sumptuous Brooches'.  And  the barn also houses a stunning collection of the Guild's work which is open as part of the Festival Art Trail between 20th and 22nd May.
