A new online course packed with information about the life and legacy of the great Mary Linwood. I’ve created this to share some of the masses of research I did for the exhibition, Mary Linwood: Art, Stitch & Life. There’s a free introduction talk coming up and the full course
Free Introduction
To launch the course, I am offering a free live introduction session on 31st March at 6pm. This is a short talk and questions about Mary Linwood and what you can expect from the course. It’s free and open to all.
Embroidered Herstories: Rediscovering Mary Linwood.
Online Course starting 31st March 2026
I’ve decided to create a lasting legacy of all the research I’ve done for the Mary Linwood: Art, Stitch & Life exhibition and collate it all into a really in-depth exploration of her work.
The course is focussed around her making practice, with masses of images and study of her works. I have also created a detailed account of my research into her making process, the materials and methods, giving you the tools to understand her work better and also try the technique yourself if you wish.
There are essays, recorded talks and loads of additional resources like auction records, exhibition images, documents and her own scrapbook. I’ve put together a recorded talk on my own work inspired by her story too, so the whole course is like an expanded version of the exhibition. There’s also a live Q&A with me on 21st April 6pm BST.
The course is open for bookings now, starts on 31st March and you will have access for a year. You can start any time.
