Recent reviews of Nasturtium Print and Embroidery Workshop with Cath Derksema

• 5/5 from Mary Macrae, attended Oct 2025: Nasturtium print and embroidery workshop was fantastic with straightforward and clear screen printing instructions for small print frames, easily shared among the class, and an abundance of embroidery materials. Cath shared inspiring samples, ample provisions for embroidering styles and trials, with needles and a stitch booklet all complimentary. Cath was able to give both class wide instruction and one to one instruction for particular stitches, with all experience and abilities catered for. The venue is clean, filled with light and made the round table workshop easily navigable. Rebecca of Made by Me provided generous morning tea and lunch. Such a brilliant and mindful day with fun conversations among participants and beautiful materials to work with.

Rebecca, as always, provided an inviting space with delicious treats and lunch spread. Cath, our teacher was so generous in providing her expertise, encouragement and beautiful quality materials to be able to create my own screen printed and embellished piece of art. Much gratitude to Made By Me for this nourishing experience.

• 5/5 from Rhondda Mockett, attended Sep 2025: A chance to learn another skill as although I can stitch/embroider I’d never done any screen printing which I’ve been very eager to find out more about. I’ve been to a workshop with Cath before and always find she is a fantastic teacher and very generous with her knowledge and materials. Loved the workshop venue and found it totally suited to creative pursuits. Lunch and snacks also delicious. Very easy to get to and easy parking. Loved it all especially the chance to learn another skill and meet new people.
