An embroiderer to royalty and the stars will visit the Noosa Embroiderer’s Group at Tewantin on World Embroidery Day on Sunday 30 July.
Jenny Adin-Christie completed a now defunct three-year apprenticeship in her craft at the Royal School of Needlework at Hampton Court Palace in England, and worked at the school for a decade before embarking on a freelance career in 2008.
Her work has featured in the Duchess of Cambridge’s wedding gown and a monogrammed outfit for Prince George.
While the apprenticeship she completed no longer exists, her work is very much in demand.
Some of her recent commissions include new All Seasons and Lenten Altar Frontals for Canterbury Cathedral, a new pelmet and curtains for the Royal Opera House, Covent Gardens, and embroidered monograms for the cover of Sir Paul McCartney’s classical album ‘Ecce Cor Meum’.
Jenny also teaches in the UK, and undertakes international teaching tours.
She will take two embroidery workshops at Wallace House over 30 July – 1 August and a general information session at the U3A, 64 Poinciana Avenue, Tewantin, on Monday 31 July from 6.30-9pm.
