BYOB Pride Embroidery Workshop in Forest Hill, London

An LGBTQ+ friendly embroidery evening for Pride Month



2.5 hours Class size 1 to 10 guests       £36

Celebrate Pride Month with a fun and relaxed evening of hand embroidery – bring a drink and spend a few hours stitching something to wear with pride, alongside other creative queers and allies.
You’ll learn a selection of beginner-friendly stitches and then customise a patch or your own piece of clothing like a denim jacket or tote bag. This is a great chance to add a handmade detail to your Pride outfit or simply enjoy some slow, creative making.
You can choose from a range of Pride-themed templates or get guidance to design your own piece. You’ll also take home your needle and thread so you can keep stitching after the session. Whether you’re totally new to embroidery or already love it, you’re very welcome here.

Hi, I’m Katie, an embroidery designer and maker based in London. I run Tired Starling Studio, where I create modern embroidery kits, hand-painted candles, and greeting cards, and host creative workshops.
I’ve been stitching since 2016 and teaching since 2019. My workshops are all about slowing down, trying something new, and enjoying the process. No experience needed. Whether you’re looking for a mindful way to unwind or just want a fun, welcoming space to get creative, you’re in the right place.
When I’m not running workshops, you’ll find me designing new kits, painting candles, or working on exciting creative projects. I’d love for you to join me at a session and see why embroidery has been my favourite craft for nearly a decade.
