  • 5/5 from Cecily Young, attended May 2026: Vivi is an incredibly talented and dedicated embroidery teacher. My parents gifted me a class for my birthday to improve my skills and I found the class incredibly helpful in learning new embroidery skills and refining what I already know. A super cosy and inviting space to bead! It is clear that Vivi is passionate in her craft and teaching it to others, she truly went above and beyond my expectations (great tea and snack selection too haha) Thank you Vivi!!
  • 5/5 from Dana Alghaloul, attended Apr 2026: A wonderful experience from start to finish. I learned so much and genuinely enjoyed the whole class. It was also a pleasure meeting such lovely people. I’ll definitely be joining more courses in the future! Danah
  • 5/5 from Sharon Fairhall-Barrows, attended Apr 2026: Teacher Vivi is very lovely and amazingly talented. She is very patient and kind too. The class was fantastic and I would highly recommend

  • 5/5 from Robyn Damm, attended Feb 2026: Absolutely loved this class and can't believe I actually was able to make my gorgeous beaded bee brooch. I learned many new techniques. Vivi is a wonderful teacher
  • 5/5 from Monika Strasser, attended Jan 2026: I made this gorgeous bee brooch at today‘s embroidery workshop. Vivi is a great teacher and she guided through the process step by step. She has a well equipped studio with a huge variety of beads to choose from. I thoroughly enjoyed the workshop.
  • 5/5 from Sam Hunt, attended Jan 2026: Absolutely spectacular class! Leant lots of new techniques with a very patient friendly teacher.
  • 5/5 from Sarah Draycott, attended Jan 2026: It is worth attending this workshop to just go and see all of Vivi's creations - it really is an extraordinary art gallery truly incredible what she can make. I really love the bee I've brought home, it is a miniature piece of art which is very wearable in day to day life. I am so thankful for all of Vivi's help, there is no way I would have been able to make it on my own at home. It helps if you have done embroidery before and do remember to take your reading spectacles if you are prescribed them.
