How cute is this project?! 🫖🧵

This hand-stitched teapot is Carolyn Forster’s featured project for her Sandringham and Hand-Stitching Retreat in Norfolk next June. It takes its inspiration from the famous hexagon patchwork and appliqué bed hangings and quilt stitched by Anna Brereton between 1801 and 1805, and it will make a charming souvenir to bring home.

Over one full week, you’ll take in the refined beauty of Houghton Hall and Sandringham, ride the Bure Valley Railway and cruise the Norfolk Broads. Along the way you’ll enjoy two full-day workshops with Carolyn, as well as plenty of time to relax at the 4-star Dunston Hall Hotel in between. 🌿

📅 20-26 June 2027
🏨 7 days from £1,959pp (or from £2,259 for solo travellers)

🇯🇵 Today is Culture Day in Japan, so what better time to shine a spotlight on one of our favourite destinations for in-depth textile journeys?

This January, we’re returning to Japan with two of our much-loved experts, Janice Gunner (departing 15th January – just one space left!) and Mandy Shaw (departing 30th January), to explore the ancient crafting traditions of this fascinating country once again.

From the vibrant colours of Bingata textiles and the intricate art of Ryukyu weaving to the shimmering silk of Hakata-ori and the timeless beauty of resist dyeing, you’ll see centuries of craftsmanship up close and meet the artisans keeping these traditions alive. 🧵

Along the way, you’ll share workshops, discoveries and plenty of memorable moments with a small group of like-minded crafters, with every detail taken care of from start to finish.
