Nice to meet you

Hello, I'm Ksenia

If you’ve found yourself here because you want to learn embroidery or explore textile art, welcome—you’re in the right place.

Over the years, I’ve learned what works, what doesn’t, and how to create pieces that feel relevant today.

My mission is to make embroidery approachable and exciting. Whether you’re a beginner or looking to advance your skills, my courses teach practical techniques for creating modern embroidery projects and wearable art inspired by tradition.

Need the Right Tool for Practice?

To get started with this technique, you’ll need a proper Luneville hook — also known as a tambour hook

Many mass-produced versions don’t hold the needle securely, which is why I now stock a small range of EU-made tambour hooks with ash wood handles and brass fittings — the same ones I use in my studio.
