My name is Emma Broughton, FRSN

I am an RSN trained Embroidery Tutor, Author, Artist, and fabric designer based in Wiltshire, specializing in hand embroidery, fabric dyeing, screen printing, and digital fabric design.

I graduated from the Royal School of Needlework Apprenticeship in 2009 and the University of the Creative Arts in 2012. In 2019, I published my book 'Embroidered Boxes: Techniques and Projects' with Crowood Press.

My passion lies in creating distinctive designs for embroidered boxes and specialized embroidery kits. I offer my designs through online and in-person classes, both independently and in collaboration with the Royal School of Needlework and the Embroiderers' Guild of America under the name Fairy Wren Embroidery.

In 2023, I was honored to receive a Developing Your Creative Practice Grant from Arts Council England to support a Blackwork Portrait project that I am deeply passionate about.

Recently, I was accepted into the inaugural cohort of RSN Fellows (FRSN), a new professional association for tutors and alumni of the Royal School of Needlework, recognizing their dedication, skill, and love for embroidery.
