Hand & Lock School - In Person Tambour Embroidery Course

How the Course Works

All in person courses are delivered in our embroidery school, located at Hand & Lock, 86 Margaret Street, Fitzrovia, London, W1W 8TE. The school is situated upstairs from our studio and is easily accessible by public transport.

Please arrive at least 5 minutes early to the class - if you are earlier there are lots of great coffee shops nearby. If you are running late please let us know as soon as possible.

Lunch is not included and the school room will be locked for a one-hour break, with the timing set by the tutor. We also have a list of local places to grab lunch, and there are lots of lovely venues nearby.

Accessibility

Our school is located upstairs in our studio. Unfortunately the building does not have lift access, so use of the stairs would be necessary.

Materials

All of the materials you need for this class will be provided for you as part of your course experience, but you are more than welcome to bring your own equipment if you would rather use your own tools.

Hand & Lock’s embroidery courses are known for their welcoming, student focused atmosphere where students of all levels quickly feel part of the Hand & Lock community. With small class sizes and tutors who are attentive and personable, everyone receives the guidance and encouragement they need to reach their creative goals. Our teaching style is approachable and down to earth and we go out of our way to share knowledge while celebrating each student’s progress. What makes the School so special is the community that grows around it, supportive, creative and often leading to friendships that last well beyond the classroom. The friendships and support that grow here are often just as valuable as the skills you learn.
