Recent reviews of Beginner Embroidery Class

  • 5/5 from Alice Milne, attended May 2026: Really lovely evening! Great to learn a new hobby. Thank you so much.
  • 5/5 from Katie Hurrell, attended Apr 2026: We had a wonderful evening at Lizzie's beginners workshop. Lizzie demonstrated and explained various different stitches clearly and was more than happy to go at everyone's individual paces. There was a huge range of thread colours to choose from meaning everyone's project was completely unique. I would highly recommend this class to anyone who is looking to learn a new skill in a relaxed and encouraging atmosphere :)
  • 5/5 from Olwyn Kiero Watson, attended Apr 2026: Very enjoyable class. Lizzie was really supportive and encouraging. The class was well structured and she obviously knew what we needed to complete by when to ensure we all finished. She kept us aware of the time without making us feel pressured. Her knowledge of embroidery is excellent. My only suggestion is that I would have liked to take a group photo of everyone’s work together, or even just see everyone’s finished piece.
  • 5/5 from Anonymised ClassBento customer, attended Apr 2026: Great range of embroidery stitches and clear and helpful instructions in personal explanation and written with pictures to help guide. A lovely atmosphere, plenty of scope for further classes and excellent value for money. Delighted, thanks Lizzie.

Hi, I’m Lizzie!
My obsession with the colours and textures of embroidery started 8 years ago right here in Bristol. From that first workshop, I was hooked. There is something so meditative about the process—it’s portable, tactile, and best of all, there are zero rules. Just you, a needle, and endless possibilities.
Lizzie’s Embroidery Club actually started during a bit of a tricky patch in my teaching career. I took the name from my real-life after-school clubs where I spent years nurturing young creativity. I’ve kept that same welcoming vibe: an accessible, modern space for stitching that breaks the "something your nan did" stereotype.
As a Secondary Art Teacher, I’ve seen first-hand how rewarding it is to watch someone’s imagination flourish. Now, I want to bring that same joy to you—minus the GCSE pressure!
Nature is my constant muse (I recently finished a massive A1-sized embroidered octopus! Check out my website blog or Instagram to see it!). I’m particularly drawn to florals because they are so forgiving; even if a stitch is a bit "wobbly, " it still looks beautiful.
My goal is simple: to help you dive into embroidery without the weight of perfectionism. I believe in a relaxed, supportive space where you can experiment, push boundaries, and maybe get a little messy with threads and embellishments.
I’m so thrilled to be back in Bristol and back in this vibrant creative scene. So, come as you are, leave your worries at the door, and let’s enjoy the stitch!
