I’ve attended 3 courses with H&L and they absolutely do great designs that are amazing to look at. The school is very popular and has a dedicated following supported. Where I think they fall down is the way in which the develop courses, which generally as quick to market as possible. At the Jane Austen inspired day course, the fabric was cheap (and was on one of my other courses too), with no backing and considering that there were so many beginners, there was no picture of the final version or even a worked piece. This negatively impacted quite a few students and this seems to be a trend they like to follow; no written instructions or picture means that you have no reference after you end the course to finish your piece.
Finally, the school runs a way of policing perceived infractions, where students are issued letters threatening you if you step out of line. I got one for being less than complimentary about the service I received on one of their WhatsApp groups.
This is not a rare occurrence and is used a lot. I have decided to take my business elsewhere because I’m not interested in being treated as a child and prefer to be treated with a level of respect pursuant to me being a customer.
Participating in the online goldwork course was truly a delightful experience. The instructor is not only encouraging but also genuinely lovely. Recently, I enrolled in the diploma course and had another fantastic experience. The guest tutor was remarkable, and the main instructors were exceptional. The quality of teaching is outstanding, and these women possess incredible talent. The class sizes are ideal, allowing for connections with fellow students from around the globe. The online format is expertly designed, making you feel engaged even without a physical classroom. Class kits arrive on time, ensuring you're ready before the course starts. They are beautifully packaged and include high-quality materials, with excellent accompanying pdf resources. Whenever I buy supplies, I'm always amazed by the wonderful selection available—a true treasure trove. It's comforting to know that anything purchased from the store will be of the highest quality, with timely deliveries. This institution fosters a positive and creative community while upholding high standards, making it wonderful to see students participating from all around the world.

I received my beautiful brooch this morning and I just had to express my excitement! It has truly surpassed my expectations. Many thanks and congratulations to the talented individual who crafted such a fine and beautiful piece by hand!
With only one life to live and the need to balance work and passion, online courses can be a lifesaver. I've explored various courses in multiple languages, but none have impressed me like this one. They blend professionalism with an interactive online experience, making learning enjoyable and engaging. Explaining intricate embroidery techniques while ensuring all students feel comfortable is no easy feat, yet they do it wonderfully! I'm so excited about their courses that I've enrolled in their new Diploma program and I'm already loving every moment! If you're seeking something fresh and exciting to learn, I highly recommend this program. You won't be disappointed!
I have taken several online courses and have enjoyed each one! Living in an area without in-person classes makes their online options incredibly accessible. Their courses feature beautiful designs, high-quality materials, and clear instructions. Compared to other online courses, their pricing is very reasonable. They've always been kind and prompt in addressing any questions or issues I've encountered. Overall, a wonderful institution!
I took the digital embroidery course and, as a novice with the software, I found the guidance invaluable. The instructor helped me grasp the basics and we worked through digitizing skills relevant to my current project. I loved every moment—it was informative, and I now have many ideas on how to use the software. The inspiring environment, filled with beautiful samples and bespoke pieces, made the experience even better. I can't wait to apply my new skills!
As a male participant, I believe that if more men learned embroidery, the world would be a better place. Imagine leaders having to create intricate pieces of beadwork before making significant decisions—what a skill and consideration that would require! Every course I've taken has nurtured diversity and inclusivity, infused with abundant skill and creativity. We all need more of this in our lives.
I've attended several courses, both in-person and online, and I've loved each one! The instructors are knowledgeable and engaging, and the course materials are exceptional. The atmosphere created in the classes is inspiring, and they bring that same energy to online sessions. Highly recommended!
