7 Nights
Embark on a wondrous Embroidery Holiday in the heart of Central Scotland, led by Anna Scott! Come and join us at the esteemed Landmark Hotel & Leisure Club in Dundee, Scotland, where embroiderers of all skill levels are warmly invited. Experience an unforgettable week from the 31st of August to the 7th of September 2024.
Under Anna's expert guidance, you'll receive 30 hours of comprehensive instruction spread across 5 days, with 3-hour morning and afternoon sessions. Anna will be there to assist you every step of the way, equipping you with the necessary techniques to bring your chosen project to fruition.
Our classes take place in a delightful, sunlit room within the hotel, boasting breathtaking views of the meticulously maintained gardens and grounds. The Landmark Hotel Dundee itself is nestled in its own picturesque surroundings, offering an indoor swimming pool, a well-equipped gym, and a charming conservatory-style restaurant. Complimentary WiFi is available throughout the premises.
This Scottish mansion house boasts elegant and spacious rooms, each adorned with blackout curtains, invigorating power showers, and flat-screen televisions. The Garden Room Restaurant, overlooking the gardens, tantalizes your taste buds with exquisite cuisine crafted from local, seasonal ingredients.
Joining fellow passionate stitchers not only fosters lifelong friendships but also presents an invaluable opportunity to learn and exchange techniques with one another, in addition to your esteemed instructor.
Throughout the booking process and your stay, Nadine and Mark will be on hand, providing any assistance you may require. Whether it's arranging airport transfers, offering packing advice before your trip, accommodating dietary needs, or assisting with lost luggage upon your arrival, they are dedicated to ensuring your comfort and convenience.
During the week, one day is reserved for an exciting excursion to a local attraction. Possibly a train journey to Edinburgh, a captivating guided tour of the Victoria & Albert Museum, or a visit to the historic Scone Palace, more information will follow soon.
Secure your spot now and seize the chance to indulge in an unforgettable stitching holiday amidst Scotland's rich heritage.
We eagerly anticipate your arrival at Creative Experiences, where lasting memories are crafted.
Anna Scott
Anna is a Danish born embroidery artist, designer and tutor. She has called Australia home for a long time and lives in the beautiful Adelaide hills in South Australia.
“I didn’t choose to embroider – Embroidery chose me.”
Anna completed a degree in technical hand embroidery at the Danish Needlecraft Guild College with honours. She has been designing and teaching embroidery since 2000 and has worked on ecclesiastical vestments in Denmark, including the bishops cope for Aarhus Cathedral, Denmark designed by Queen Margrethe II. After writing and editing for Inspirations magazine for many years, Anna now focuses on her own embroidery business, creating stitched art pieces, teaching both locally and around the world and developing kits for her Fine Stitch Studio brand.
“Needle in hand makes me happy…”
Anna practises a wide range of embroidery techniques. She particularly enjoys styles that involve colour, pattern and texture – crewel embroidery, raised embroidery and goldwork being her favourites. Her designs are largely inspired by traditional hand embroidery and decorative arts, with a subtle contemporary twist and the results can best be described as ‘traditional but not typical’.
“My life is in stitches, literally. I stitch when I can find time or make time – it is part of who I am. If I am not stitching, I am most likely thinking about it.”
