Central London Embroidery School
It’s that time of year again. How time flys!
The London Embroidery School will be closed for Christmas from Friday 20th Dec 2019 until Friday 3rd Jan 2020.
International expected pre Christmas postage dates have now past and the UK expected pre Christmas deadline looms ever closer at 2pm Wednesday 18th Dec 19. Therfore any orders placed from after these dates will be fulfilled in the new year.
See you in 2020!
The final day to get your order into us and your order be despatched to the UK before Christmas will be Thursday 19th December for orders on a 1st Class Signed for service with the Royal Mail.
International Orders will need to be in by the 12th December for Europe, and 8th December for the rest of the world for orders on an International Tracked and/or signed for service.
Be sure to get your order in before these dates to avoid disappointment. The dates given are as advised by the Royal Mail, but they are particularly busy during the festive season so perhaps try to purchase a little earlier to be safe.
This year, we have decided to launch the Goldwork Star Class as a kit, for those of you wonderful stitchers that might not be able to make it to a class in London, just before Christmas. So yesterday, we popped the 5 styles up on our website and sent out the notification to our subscribers.
And just like that, Whoosh, they’re all sold overnight.
Therefore we will be furiously making more sets to get them back online for anyone else who might have missed out. Check back in soon when we hope to have them back in stock again ready to be made.

And if you are looking to get in the mood for the festive season yourself we have the Goldwork Christmas Star Workshop taking place on the 7th December 2019 from 10am-6pm.
As we round off last year and look forward to the year to come, we are delighted to announce that our student of the month for December 2018 is @jodabeads!
Jo joined us wiht our lovely tutor Auburn for the Christmas Stars Class where teach student is introduced to goldwork techniques in preparation to making their own tree topper.
There are a range of designs of different ‘fills’ for the sections of the stars so that you can choose something that will suit your skill level and allow you to achieve during the class day.
Here you can see Jo’s choices of different styles of bullion which will achieve give her finished piece a textured effect.
We wont be holding the christmas goldwork stars class until Christmas 2019 now, however there are lot of other ways you can join us to learn goldwork techniques throughout the year.
