Esther Collins Textile Courses & Workshops

Esther Collins is a textile and mixed-media artist based in West Sussex, United Kingdom. Her practice combines hand embroidery, machine embroidery, surface design and textile art, bringing traditional stitch together with a more experimental mixed-media approach. This blend of techniques gives her work a distinctive character, shaped by texture, detail and an interest in the creative possibilities of fabric and thread.

She runs workshops and courses from her studio in West Sussex, offering tuition in hand embroidery, machine embroidery, surface design and textile art. Her sessions are suited to anyone wanting to explore textiles further, from complete beginners to those looking to build on existing skills. With a welcoming approach to teaching, she offers a great opportunity to learn new techniques and develop confidence in textile making.
