About the workshop videos
The videos were filmed during the original live workshop, so rather than a scripted studio production, you'll experience the class just as my embroiderers did. You'll see every demonstration, explanation and technique in real time, with clear close-up views throughout. It's the closest experience to sitting in the classroom with me, and you'll also benefit from the questions and discussions that naturally arose during the workshop.
Accessing your workshop
Once your order has been placed, I will personally send you an email with access to the workshop videos and downloadable PDF written instructions. As I send these manually, please allow a little time for your email to arrive.
