About JC Embroidery

I began embroidery at an early age, inspired by many of the glory box items made by my grand- and great-grandmothers. I have a wide range of embroidery interests but particularly enjoy using traditional techniques and combining these techniques into modern projects. I enjoy assisting students to master a new technique, building their confidence and to appreciate their developing talents.

As can be seen by the items pictured on this website, I take pleasure in counted thread embroidery styles, particularly those that are traditional to specific cultures, where simple fabrics and threads were combined into elaborately stitched projects that held a respected place in the household.

My other embroidery passion is goldwork. There is just something about the lavish gleam of gold on velvet that catches attention. Combining other mediums with the metal threads to produce modern designs with a traditional feel.

I am available as a tutor for your Guild or group, or individual lessons on a variety of embroidery techniques. Please contact me with any queries.

Kind regards

Julie
