I have taken numerous online classes and none of them have compared to this course. It is beautifully filmed with clear and thoughtful instructions. Willemien is incredibly generous in sharing her processes, and her generosity has inspired me to reach beyond my fears – something you cannot put a price on.
I love how the process of stitching changes your knowledge of what you are doing and increases your awareness of what your fingers are capable of. For the first time, I felt happiness and contentment in what I was doing rather than being self-critical. There is something magical about needle and thread! Thank you so much for putting this course together.
I so enjoyed this intro and laughed out loud. I love the exuberance of your willful staining and your defiant non-expert approach to ‘needlework’. I welcome the prospect of emergent slow stitching to find ways of connecting to myself as I also attempt to process the recent death of my mother.
Watching you is pure joy! Your voice and the cadence of your way of speaking is very relaxing. I just want to see and try everything, but will take it slowly, to enjoy each step, and experiment. I started the fluid writing this morning and it helped me bring strong feelings from my past. Many thanks for sharing all your knowledge.
I am in a state of quiet joy when I watch your lessons. I am taking it slow. Like reading a good book I want the discovery to last. Thank you.
Thank you so much for this beautiful course & sharing your work. Not being passed any hand skills from my family has always been a bit of a portal of grief for me (I imagined that happy and healthy families stitch and mend together in ways mine did not) and so being passed these skills in another way means a lot to me. I’m enjoying staining things so much –- as someone who deals with complex feelings by trying to plan & control, this is such a relaxing thing to do. I am learning to trust the process and the idea that I can respond to whatever results I get from playing.
I loved this course! Such immense inspiration and beautifully filmed.
One of the most elegant and beautiful classes I’ve ever taken.
The Stained Table | Narrative Stitch Online Course
In this seven-module narrative stitching workshop, I share every aspect of my creative process, to guide you to create deeply personal and meaningful artwork. The different modules cover writing exercises I’ve developed over many years, my love of domestic stains and its application in creating your textile work.
And of course stitching itself.
Equivalent to a four-day intensive workshop.

Dirty Blues | Colour Tutorial
In this tutorial, I’m going to guide you through adding a cyanotype print on top of a previously eco-printed cloth, as well as the reverse – eco-printing a cloth that already has cyanotype images on it. Whereas it might be useful to know exactly where your botanical markings have landed before positioning the items, or images, you wish to expose using cyanotype, being open to the random nature of eco-printing might bring delightful surprises.
Equivalent to a two-day intensive workshop.
