Join our social embroidery circle – a friendly, relaxed space to work on your own project with support from experienced teacher Donna. Whether you’re picking up an unfinished piece or starting something new from your ‘to-make’ list, you’ll have dedicated time to focus, stitch, and enjoy the gentle rhythm of making. Donna will be on hand to offer guidance, answer questions, and help you build your skills at your own pace. It’s also a lovely opportunity to connect with like-minded people, share ideas, and find inspiration in good company. Bring whatever you’re working on – and let’s stitch, chat and unwind together.

Donna is an embroidery artist and educator with over 20 years of teaching experience. Based in Hitchin, her brand Make Your Own Happy promotes harnessing the power of creativity as a form of mindfulness and self-care.  Donna’s colourful work is influenced by nature, particularly flowers and the changing seasons, which is reflected in the intricate designs of her embroidery kits.  Through a wide array of creative workshops across Hertfordshire, Donna hopes to inspire students to explore the therapeutic and artistic benefits of embroidery.  Her approach to teaching is both comprehensive and engaging, making her the ideal guide for both beginners and experienced embroiderers.
