Celtic Embroidery Workshop

Alice is a passionate embroiderer inspired by Ireland. Alice began stitching in school at the age of 15, but it wasn’t until she heard about the Degree Course at the Royal School of Needlework, London that she thought she might make a career out of it. Here, she learned a wide range of embroidery techniques and worked on a number of high profile projects such as the Nicholas Oakwell for Great Britain campaign and the HBO Game of Thrones Hardhome Embroidery.After graduating from the RSN in 2017, Alice moved back home to Dublin, Ireland and began work on a series of pieces inspired by Irish Folklore, Language, Landscape and History. So far, Alice has completed The Wildflowers series, Celtic Knot series, and Ogham series. These works have also inspired some personalised and commissioned pieces.

Your materials are included in the price of the class, and you'll have the opportunity to buy extra materials and equipment if you wish.Embroidery is a slow process, so the piece may not be completed within the class. But we will make sure that you are confident enough in everything you've learned, to finish the work at home.If you have any questions about this class, please email them to alice@bealice.iePlaces must be booked in advance as I cannot accept walk-ins on the day.
