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.
