  • 5/5 from Zareen Noor, attended Aug 2026: Wonderful teacher and wonderful person. My daughter and I learnt so much from Narda.. She is very compassionate and knowledgeable. We will definitely take more classes with Narda in future.
  • 5/5 from Jenny Zappavigna, attended Mar 2026: Thoroughly enjoyed the session! Nada was very generous with sharing her knowledge and I feel that I now know enough to start my own project.
  • 5/5 from Angela Crowe, attended Jul 2025: Brilliant, I loved doing Narda’s class I learnt a Lot as I was a raw beginner to embroidery and the atmosphere was just gorgeous thank you
  • 5/5 from Leigh Harlett, attended Jun 2025: I purchased this class as a birthday present for my partner and I can honestly say it was one of the nicest and most relaxing experiences we've ever done! Narda is delightful — a patient and engaging teacher, a witty conversationalist, and a very friendly and welcoming person! She was able to competently show us the basics of embroidery across the course of the lesson and provided us with a kit to take home so that we could continue our learning in our own time. Her workshop is very cosy and beautifully decorated and she has a truly excellent variety of delicious teas on offer. We had a wonderful morning and can highly recommend Narda's class to anyone who would like to learn embroidery in a safe and encouraging environment. Thank you very much from Leigh & Elliot!
  • 5/5 from Marie-Michelle Mousse, attended Apr 2023: Great session and I will take my initial learning further. I really appreciated the tutor's approach and support around my neurodiverse needs.

As a fibre artist, designer, teacher, and history enthusiast, I am fascinated by all forms of colour and pattern in daily life as expressions of culture and identity.
I love teaching and sharing what I know, helping people to stretch their skills, create new experiences & explore their own creativity.
I firmly believe there is no such thing as a non-creative person.
Everyone has the potential to be creative.
It could be in cooking, gardening, interior design, writing, or, as in my case, fibre arts.
As a teacher with over 30 years of experience, I get a real buzz when a student who hasn't tried a specific craft before - not only masters it, but becomes excited by the ways they can use their new skill.
I started in Jewellery design when I was in my early 20s, and then discovered that all the things I love to do (design, dye, draw, felt, paint, etc.) can be applied to the practice of 'Hand or Surface Embroidery'.
I taught the 'Foundation course' in Colour & Design at the International School of Colour & Design.
I am a published textile designer & also ran week-long textile experiences in Tasmania during the January holidays for 8 years.
I have exhibited many of my pieces in a variety of spaces & had one piece auctioned off to raise money for the Embroiderers Guild of NSW.
My influences come from various parts of history, both ancient and modern, as well as the natural world (especially birds & fish) & the written word.
I love to read.
I collect folktales & poetry.
These interests often show up in my work - in quotes or images inspired by what I've read.
I bring all of these experiences & interests to my teaching of hand embroidery and encourage students to explore the potential of this ancient art form.
I also utilize these influences in my other design practices, including wirework, upcycling clothing & free form crochet and knitting.
I also teach spinning - I dye & spin my own yarn.
Please let me know if there is anything I can help you with.
