Take a moment out of your week to relax, stitch and connect at the Hand & Lock School for Embroidery. Our Sip & Stitch for Charity mornings are a gentle way to start the day - with coffee, cake and good company in our central London studio.

You’re welcome to bring along your own stitching project, or simply come and enjoy a chat with like-minded makers. Our tutors will be on hand if you’d like any stitching advice or guidance.

We’re raising money in support of three charities close to our hearts:

Wonder Foundation – A women-led charity dedicated to transforming the lives of women, girls and their communities through quality education.

Mind – A leading mental health charity providing advice, support and advocacy to ensure no one faces mental health challenges alone.

Intoart – A London-based art and design studio supporting artists and designers with learning disabilities to develop and share their creative practice.


Whether you come to stitch, chat or simply enjoy a cup of coffee, your presence helps make a difference.

If you make a booking and are no longer able to attend please let us know so we can make your space available to others

The sessions are free to join – all we ask is that you make a donation to our JustGiving page.
