My names is Becky and I a professional Hand Embroiderer, Tutor, Conservator/Restorer. I spent three years completing the Royal School of Needlework's Future Tutor Programme, graduating in 2015.

I grew up in the UK on the Hampshire / Surrey border where I spent most of my childhood indulging in Cross Stitch, which became my first experience (and for a long time my only experience) of hand embroidery. This hobby followed me through my education and into working life as a form of stress relief and an outlet for creativity. I worked for many years in Administration for various companies in different departments, unwittingly learning a variety of skills that would be necessary for freelance work.

I joined the Future Tutor Programme in 20212 and after three very intensive years studying different aspects of hand embroidery I graduated with Distinction. I have been working freelance ever since. The last few years have been exciting and challenging in equal measure. In March 2020 I published my first book on Crewelwork.
