We are a group of women (but men are welcome!) who have an interest in textile art and embroidery. We are of mixed abilities and there is no need for you to be able to sew to come and join us - there are no tests!
New members are always welcome - why not call in and join us as a guest for a few months?
Meeting fee for visitors is only £5.
Our meetings vary - we have talks and workshops, show and tell - we also have lots of weekend workshops and playdays. For details of what's coming up (and what's been and gone!) check out our programme below...

November Workshop - Jessica Aldred - An Introduction to Goldwork

We are lucky enough at Halifax to have among our talented members Jessica Aldred, who is an RSN scholar who has resettled in the area.
In November she ran a workshop for members on an introduction to Goldwork, featuring Neil the Snail. 

Members were able to buy everything they needed from Jessica to start work on their very own "Neils", and by the end of the day they were well underway. 


Lesley soon finished hers


Followed soon after by Davina


And by the December meeting we had a positive escargatoire of snails 
adorning frames, boxes and bags.


If you would like to contact Jessica to find out about her classes and availability, you can do so via her website, http://www.bespokeneedlework.com

    Just my kind of workshop. No need to provide hoards of stuff you do not use on the day and then never gets to see the light of day again!!
