When we think about Lorna Bateman, we think about English country gardens, silk ribbon and creative embroidery. We are celebrating 10 years with Lorna this year. We remember when we ask her to come and teach for us in the French Alps in 2016. Her calm and caring teaching style made us feel warm and safe. Over the years, we have had many glasses of wine together, ate plenty of ice creams, had delicious dinners with our guests all over Europe and most importantly, we created beautiful embroidery projects together. We would like to say a big thank you. We are excited for working this year in Somerset and Berlin and next year, we will take Lorna to Canada in May.

Hidden in Florence’s Oltrarno district lies the last surviving silk factories in Italy.
At Antico Setificio Fiorentino, centuries-old wooden looms are still weaving silk exactly as they did hundreds of years ago, preserving craftsmanship through generations.
The workshop even survived the devastating Florence flood of 1966 and continues operating today, keeping a rare piece of Florence’s history alive. Watching these historic machines in motion truly felt like stepping back in time.
