My name is Emma Broughton, FRSN

I am a Wiltshire-based RSN trained Embroidery Tutor, Author, Artist and fabric designer with expertise in hand embroidery, fabric dyeing, screen printing, and digital fabric design.

​

I am a graduate of both the Royal School of Needlework Apprenticeship (2009) and the University of the Creative Arts (2012). In 2019 my book 'Embroidered Boxes: Techniques and Projects' was published by Crowood Press.

My passion is creating unique designs for embroidered boxes and specialist embroidery kits.  I sell and teach my design online and in person classes independently, for the Royal school of Needlework and the Embroiderers' Guild of America under the name Fairy Wren Embroidery.

​

In 2023 I was given the honour of being awarded a Developing your Creative Practice Grant by the Arts Council England to fund a Blackwork Portrait project which I am extremely passionate about.

​

I have recently had the honour of being accepted in the first cohort of RSN Fellows (FRSN), which is the school's new professional association for tutors and other alumni to celebrate their commitment, skill and passion for embroidery.
