Embroidery classes - places available after Easter
EMBROIDERY is beautiful and fascinating. It has so many different forms. It can be detailed or bold, colourful or monochrome, magnificent or miniature. It’s a great aid to mindfulness in anxious times. It can be a record of happy places and events. It can be wonderfully intricate, or it can be very simpleand still really effective.
For forty years, Jennie Fox has been teaching a superb range of hand embroidery skills to many happy embroiderers from all around Leicester. Students come saying they couldn’t ever do beautiful pieces like hers - and surprise themselves with what they create. Jennie is as skilled at inspiring people as she is at showing them actual techniques. Sometimes Jennie suggests a design, but everyone chooses different colours or size or detail. Sometimes each person just brings their own project. Looking at fellow students’ work is part of the enjoyment and the learning of a class. The classes are so friendly and encouraging and supportive as well as full of lovely work!

THE INHABITANTS of the Inventor’s Housing Estate keep themselves to themselves. There are the friendly ‘Hellos’ when commutes coincide and the odd cheeky eye roll when the wine bottles clank in number 7’s wheelie bin, but it’s not exactly Ramsay Street.
The dilapidated community centre is no longer the beating heart of the estate that Becky remembers from her childhood. So the new pottery class she’s helped set up feels like a fresh start. And not just for her.
