Stitch-School
Stitch-School was co-founded in 2017 by Melanie Bowles and Aimee Betts whose aim is to provide professional and inspirational guidance to reconnect to the benefits of embroidery through embroidery kits, workshops and community events around a large communal embroidery table.
Stitch-School's beautifully designed contemporary embroidery kits inspire the study of embroidery stitches with a playful approach for all ages to enjoy the art of needlework. The first kit the A-Z of Embroidery was launched at The Barbican Make! Season of Contemporary Crafts and provides the foundation of embroidery stitches. Each letter of the alphabet has its own individual embroidery technique ready to practice.
Stitch-School runs regular workshops teaching the skills of embroidery based around the Stitch-School embroidery kits, providing inspirational support through social media, building communities and sharing textile narratives.
