Beautiful cathedral of Sagrada Familia, Barcelona, España. Yesterday, our embroidery students took a break from stitching and we went to see the cathedral with all its light and beauty. We had a beautiful day out with sangria and paella for lunch, a city tour and of course ice cream and a stroll to the food market. #basilica #cathedral #sightseeing #craftretreat #embroideryclass #takeabreak

Only 5 weeks to go until Anna Scott from Australia will join us in bonny Scotland for her "Thistle & Rose"embroidery project. If you still want to join, there are 3 spaces left. Anna practises a wide range of embroidery techniques. She particularly enjoys styles that involve colour, pattern and texture – crewel embroidery, raised embroidery and goldwork being her favourites. Her designs are largely inspired by traditional hand embroidery and decorative arts, with a subtle contemporary twist and the results can best be described as ‘traditional but not typical’.
Enjoy your stay in a 4 star hotel outside Dundee, where you will have time to stitch and relax. We offer threstle frames and magnifying lamps and there will be an excursion to Glamis castle and Scottish haberdashery shops.
The price is £1450 per person for single occupancy which includes your accommodation, all meals at the Landmark Hotel, Anna's tuition fees and excursions. Not included are your travel to the venue, Anna's embroidery kit, travel insurance, beverages at the hotel, 1 lunch and 1 dinner out and private purchases.
Please join us for your Scotland embroidery retreat this September.

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.
