Jackie Cardy


Welcome to Workshop on the Web, a publication exclusive to the internet, featuring the very best tutors from all points of the compass, giving step-by-step details of textile techniques and ideas for using those techniques creatively. Machine embroidery, hand stitching, mixed media work from metals to the latest developments in plastics technology and beyond - you'll find it all here. We review books and products and keep you in touch with all that's new.

Undecided? We have provided a taster issue of Workshop on the Web which is entirely free and unrestricted. To view it, click the free taster button below (or Taster at the top of the page). Future issues can be accessed by subscribers through a password. We promise that each issue will have at least six workshop features, an interview with a well-known embroiderer plus other articles of general interest. Also, products - not just what's new but how to use them, book reviews, news and views. Add all this together and it's far more than a magazine - more like getting a new book four times a year. All for 20.00 pounds for a whole year's subscription (about $30). Even more reason to sign up.

Lynda Monk's new book, 'Exploring Creative Surfaces', continues the d4daisy Workshop series - books with loads of ideas that are based on one particular technique or material. The books are very well priced, especially when they all include a series of free on-line classes to take the techniques in them even further. The books and lessons consider the fact that we can't afford to buy lots of expensive materials and suggest ways of making a little go a long way. Lynda's 'Exploring Creative Surfaces' book demonstrates some great ideas for truly creative surfaces that require the minimum of materials to achieve the maximum WOW factor.
