How it works

Book or Request your preferred time

We'll send a ClassBento Box to you (a craft kit with what you'll need). Shipping is free, and you'll get your box delivered in time for your class. We ship nationwide.

Enjoy the online class - after booking, you'll get a link to join the interactive class.

What you'll do

An experienced and published designer, Narda, will guide you through the design process during the classes.

This series of workshops is for those who have done a little embroidery before and would like to practice their skills. Using simple design tools, you can create something that reflects your individuality.

It's perfect if you want to create decorative pieces for your home or as gifts for friends. It is perfect for making individual pieces that express your interests & personality.

This course runs over four one-hour classes, which will help you explore what you know and create your own piece from scratch. These classes are arranged by request at a mutually convenient time (day or evening).

Each participant will be given design suggestions to suit their needs, plus written design development instructions and a list of places to buy stitching supplies.

There is also the option of buying an embroidery Craft Box if you do not have the materials at home.

At the end of the online embroidery course, you will have a good start or a completed design project of your own.

What you'll get in your craft kit

A small art journal to start your design ideas + explore options for your designs.
A fabric marker.
Written design notes + list of places to source supplies
A small view finder to explore options.

Women-owned

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 run week-long textile experiences in Tasmania every January.

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 utilise 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.
