Hanny Newton Goldwork Embroidery retreat from 30th August to 6th September 2025.
Hanny’s goldwork embroidery workshops are a balance of technique and experimentation, leaving plenty of ‘breathing space’ for artists to find their own response to the historical techniques of goldwork.
Throughout the workshop you will build up your own unique series of hand embroidery samples and drawings which can become a tool kit of techniques and explorations to further your creativity and enhance your practice.
Join Hanny and the Creative Experiences team for a delightful retreat. Stay in an Alpine Chalet nestled in the mountains, with all meals provided including breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Indulge in an array of biscuits and tea. Explore French markets, breathtaking waterfalls, and charming haberdashery shops in Annecy and Chamonix during your stay.
Prices are from £1400 for double occupancy.

Our excursion day took us to Villa Reale near Lucca today. We visited the gardens and museum of Elisa Bonaparte Baciocchi -Napoleons sister and princess of Lucca. It is one of the most historical residences in Italy. We had delicious lunch in Lucca followed by shopping and buying more threads and materials. Now back to the hotel for a swim in the pool before dinner. #italytravel #laceretreat #happydays
