Mary Broddle

Embroiderer

I had a successful 20 year career in Rail Engineering. 

But my worsening health meant I reached a point where I had to accept I couldn’t keep going as I was and I left my job.   

I’ve been in ‘lockdown’ before, unable to leave the house for weeks on end.

Embroidery has helped me cope with chronic illness and increasing disability, being housebound and changing circumstances beyond my control. 

That is why I am passionate about sharing that skill and its benefits with as many people as possible.

Brydie Filer

Expert Craft Tutor

"As a secondary school teacher of Art and Design for many years, with a genuine love and absolute enthusiasm for all things arty and crafty, expanding into teaching workshops is an absolute joy.

I specialise in various printing techniques as I love the cross over of art and craft skills. I take inspiration from everywhere but particularly love the beauty of the natural world.

I truly believe art is for all and hope that my printmaking workshops give people of all abilities the inspiration and knowledge to continue to create wonderful pieces long after the session has finished."
