Luce Ben Aben School of Arab Embroidery, Algeria<\/p><\/div>\n

In the interests of evenhandedness, following my post<\/a> the other day about being self-taught, today I thought I would ask people who have undertaken formal study at a needlework school to tell us what it was like, and what they loved or did not love about it. <\/p>\n

Apart from anything you may wish to tell us, I have some questions because I am curious! Did you do it for the qualification you would gain at the end, or just for the knowledge you would acquire? If you gained a formal qualification, has that been useful to you? Was the curriculum delivered onsite or online?<\/p>\n

I’ve looked at the Royal School of Needlework and assessed that they don’t teach what I want to learn, so I have found that learning elsewhere for myself. However, I greatly admire some of their graduates.<\/p>\n

I know that the Japanese Embroidery Center is *the* place to learn Japanese embroidery, with a well structured and rigorous program of study. I am in awe of some of the work their students produce.<\/p>\n

I know that the San Francisco School of Needlework and Design exists, but not much else about it.<\/p>\n

There are probably others that I do not know of. I’d love to hear about them, and your experiences there, if you’ve been to one! If you’d like to post anonymously, you can send your reflections to my email address (please do not send them to me via messenger) and ask me to post them anonymously for you. I will post them in each of the three locations I post to (FB, Insta and my blog) unless you specify which one you’d like me to post to. yvette at vetty creations dot com dot au <\/p>\n

Please note, if you’re from the marketing department from a needlework school, I request that you do not take this as an invitation to advertise here. I am asking for personal reflections from current or past students only.<\/p>\n
