@Annie C The embroidery workshops I'm going to are held every two years in Glenelg, Adelaide (it's by the beach and not far from Adelaide just a short tram ride) and is called Beating round the Bush. We have tutors and fellow embroiderers who come from all around the world for eight days of fun. There are 1,2 and 3 day workshops. Check it out online and have a look at what's on offer workshopwise this year. It's held at Immanuel College and you can stay there as well or find your own accommodation. The company who run it through Inspirations embroidery magazine also do deals with some of the big accommodation places there and run shuttle buses to the venue. I have to admit it's not cheap by the time you tote up flights, accommodation, cost of workshops and kits but i figure it's only every two years so what the hell! I fly in from Melbourne with my sister, mum and a friend so we rent a house and spread the cost that way. Check it out and see what you think. And if you haven't come across the Inspirations magazine before it's the best embroidery mag I've ever drooled over.
Cheers Cath
