“The inspiration for my boat entry came from a variety of places, the first being the colour palette used in Elizabeth Bradley’s Blooms collection. I felt the soft, harmonious tones would suit my type of work, which is to combine images captured from the coastal area around me, with traditional embroidery techniques, like those found in historic samplers.” Claire Smail (UK)

We introduced our needlework classes in 2009 and they have proved to be very successful. the feedback received from past participants is that the classes are both enjoyable and educational.

expert tutorage will allow you, regardless of your ability, to pick up new skills and techniques to get the most out of your interest in needlework. participants enjoy meeting other like-minded stitchers and chatting over what they have enjoyed working on in the past and what they would like to embark on in the future. We have had the pleasure of meeting customers who have travelled from all over the UK and some who have made the journey from europe to join our General ability or master Carpet Joining class. Why not visit the Classes page on our website and read some of the comments from previous students?

We hold these day classes in Oxford in a lovely hotel where the hospitality is key and accommodation needs can be easily met. this year, we are pleased to be able to offer a residential package in addition to the standard class rate which will allow you to simply arrange your travel and arrive at the location where you can then relax. alternatively, we can send you details of local hotels and travel links should you prefer to organise your trip independently.

Full Cross Stitch on Canvas with Woolall elizabeth Bradley kits are designed to be worked in Victorian Cross stitch. this stitch covers the canvas well and produces thick, hard-wearing pieces of needlework with no distortion in shape. ideal for making cushions or covering chairs or stools, they also make attractive pictures if framed and decorative carpets and wall hangings when joined together.

Making a Needlework Carpetthe creation of a needlework carpet may seem daunting which is why at elizabeth Bradley we offer comprehensive tutorage in our advanced Carpet Joining classes to guide you through the process of joining designs. from a simple two panel to an ambitious 12 panel carpet, the end result will be an attractive and enduring needlework creation that can be cherished for years. the combination of the Victorian cross stitch on our durable blue line canvas with 4 ply tapestry wool means the finished result will be as strong as it is attractive.
