Give your favourite young stitcher a new passion for needlepoint with one of our Children’s kits. Stitch one to create a small pillow, or join all four to produce a beautiful bolster pillow. In 2010, Elizabeth Bradley held a competition inviting art students from universities around the country to create a design for needlepoint inspired by interior trends. The very talented Claire Smail won the competition whilst studying at Swansea University in the UK. Claire continued to partner with the Elizabeth Bradley team and with her talent and creativity, she designed our fun coastal Children’s kits. 1 2 3 4

“The inspiration for my boat entry came from a variety of places, the first being the colour palette used in Elizabeth Bradley’s Blooms collection. I felt the soft, harmonious tones would suit my type of work, which is to combine images captured from the coastal area around me, with traditional embroidery techniques, like those found in historic samplers.” Claire Smail (UK)

From a simple two panel to an ambitious 12 panel carpet, the end result will be an attractive and enduring needlework creation that can be cherished for years.

Needlework Classes
We introduced our needlework classes in 2009 and they have proved to be very successful. The feedback received from past participants is that the classes are both enjoyable and educational. Expert tutorage will allow you, regardless of your ability, to pick up new skills and techniques to get the most out of your interest in needlework. Participants enjoy meeting other likeminded stitchers and chatting over what they have enjoyed working on in the past and what they would like to embark on in the future. We have had the pleasure of meeting customers who have travelled from all over the UK and some who have made the journey from Europe to join our General Ability or Master Carpet Joining class. Why not visit the Classes page on our website and read some of the comments from previous students? We hold these day classes in Oxford in a lovely hotel where the hospitality is key and accommodation needs can be easily met. This year, we are pleased to be able to offer a residential package in addition to the standard class rate which will allow you to simply arrange your travel and arrive at the location where you can then relax. Alternatively, we can send you details of local hotels and travel links should you prefer to organise your trip independently.
Elizabeth Bradley in the UK Elizabeth Bradley Designs was founded in the small town of Beaumaris in North Wales where our loyal production team is still based.
