Duration: 2 Day Workshop (10am - 4:30pm each day)

Introducing Aari Tambour embroidery through a soft, flowing fish motif. Worked in a calming palette of icy blues, silvers, and whites, the piece evokes the gentle shimmer of light beneath the surface.

Over this weekend course , you’ll be guided through the essentials of Aari Tambour technique, making it the perfect starting point for beginners. You’ll learn how to handle the tambour hook, build smooth chain stitches, and develop rhythm and control as you work. Each step is carefully demonstrated, allowing you to gain confidence while creating delicate lines and graceful movement within your design.

Set against a light organza, your fish comes to life through flowing stitched lines and subtle embellishment. The simplicity of the composition allows you to focus on mastering technique, while still producing a beautifully refined finished piece.

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.
