\"2017A couple of weeks ago I had a phone call from a lovely lady in New Zealand. “So, because you’re not going to London, would you come to teach us instead?”<\/p>\n

Apparently they were all sitting around in their embroidery group discussing things and they decided there was nothing to be lost from asking me to come to them instead. What a wonderfully opportunistic mindset!<\/p>\n

I said that I would be very happy to consider doing this for them. So far they’ve managed to *fill* three classes for me in Waikato. They have offered me to other nearby guilds, and there is the possibility of three more taking them up on the offer.<\/p>\n

We don’t have final dates yet, because we’re still not sure who I’ll be teaching for, but all going well, I’ll be heading off to the north island of New Zealand in November to teach some enthusiastic students. <\/p>\n

For anyone else who is interested in me teaching for them, I cannot fit any more classes this year. I have enough bookings for next year, and I’m now looking at 2025 for bookings.<\/p>\n

For those who are patiently waiting for me to teach some more classes in Walcha, I will schedule some for 2024 (to fill up my 2024 teaching calendar). Keep an eye out for announcements on FB and Instagram, on my blog, and on my website.<\/p>\n

As for teaching in the US, I’m still working on that. I submitted for the 2024 EGA Seminar but was knocked back. I know there are many who want to take a class with me, but due to really strict visa regulations, I have to be sponsored to come. To get a visa to teach in the US, I basically have to offer classes that no-one in the US could. I’ll keep trying, and I do have some ongoing discussions with a US venue.<\/p>\n

The photo is of a group I taught in Napier on my NZ teaching tour in 2017. I do not think Napier is on my list for the upcoming trip, though I could be wrong. I’m just going where they send me! <\/p>\n

I find the whole thing absolutely hilarious, that there were not enough students for my London classes, yet in NZ they’ve filled three classes without hardly trying! Go where you’re wanted… \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
