learning embroidery through classes

I occasionally get phone calls from people who would like to join any embroidery classes that I am teaching. As it happens, teaching embroidery is not my core business (writing embroidery books is) and I do not teach any regular classes. (I do teach irregularly scheduled embroidery workshops, however these are in particular techniques, and not general “learn how to embroider” classes.)

For those people who want to attend classes to learn, my usual suggestions are as follows:

• find a local needlework store which runs classes
• see if there is a local community college which runs classes
• find out if there is an embroiderers’ guild group in your area

Many years ago I used to teach embroidery classes at a community college. The other day I was chatting with Christine Bennett, an embroidery teacher, who I know used to teach at another community college. I asked if she was still teaching there. She said that her classes are still going strong, with classes usually full. This is excellent news! So if you’re interested in embroidery classes in Sydney, check out what Macquarie Community College has to offer.

Christine is a highly experienced teacher who would love to have you join her classes. The classes are located in Epping. If you’d like to talk with Christine about the course content, she’s happy for me to pass on her mobile number. Just contact me for details.
