Amy is remarkably talented as an artist and a teacher! I loved her workshop and I’ve found a new hobby that I’m so enjoying. The workshop set-up was excellent, the materials high quality and we even enjoyed Amy’s excellent baking!

Lovely light venue, teacher, Amy was amazing and so knowlegeable. She is generous with her knowledge and I loved the kit she put together for us. It was extra special to be learning her techniques in the middle of such a beautiful exhibition. I'm looking forward to Amy's next class.

I love this kit so much! My daughter is interested in growing moss gardens, so it has been lovely to take inspiration from them and get creative. The kit arrived promptly, was packaged beautifully, and contained a gorgeous selection of linen, threads, cotton and hand dyed wool. And the instructions and videos on instagram are very clear and helpful. I highly recommend!

A fabulous workshop. Well organised from the get go. Welcoming and fun. Tge Happenstore provided a lovely, creative space. Our pack of materials and instructions were well thought out and just right for the project. Amy Jones was an excellent teacher, clear, friendly, inspiring. Her work is so gorgeous and she's very generous in sharing her knowledge, tips and inspiration.

Amy is a great teacher, very creative and with wonderful ideas to help people scared of a blank canvas. She is very patient a nd generous with her time and threads and imagination. This is my second course with Amy and I'll be booking in again.

Great location with good lighting, super friendly and patient teacher. Plenty of material available, also to take home at the end of the night to complete your piece! Loved it and would highly recommend.

Our embroidery workshop was a great way to spend an evening- fun & interesting guided by ever helpful Amy. We learned new ways with stitches & were able to work on a project that looked good from the start- due to Amy’s thoughtful cutting of threads & background preparation. 3 hours went way to quickly!

Amy Jone’s Moss Embroidery class ran over two Saturdays. We learnt a variety of different embroidery stitches using a wide variety of lovely threads. Amy provides all the equipment and materials needed such as linen, a hoop, threads and beads and advice to complete a small jewel like embroidery. Great class, lovely teacher.

Having everything supplied (including homemade cake) made for an extremely enjoyable rainy morning workshop. The venue was excellent, and as Amy’s exhibition was on the walls, inspiration was everywhere. Written instructions were given to take home to jog the memory. Looking forward to continuing the journey next week!
