Our Past Festivals
Spanning anywhere from 9 days to 2 weeks, our needlework Festivals have featured workshops with some of our favourite tutors, as well as a series of specially curated lectures. 2, 3 and 4-day workshops will be offered in three time zones to accommodate students from all over the world – with participants from New Zealand to Canada, from Hong Kong to France, the UK to the US, all coming together to celebrate their shared love of needlework.

Our inaugural online Festival back in May 2021 was a leap into the unknown for hosts and participants alike. The fun, enjoyment and learning that took place in those two weeks set the tone and energy for the events that have followed!
