Who are Charles and Elin ?
We are a French/Swedish married artist couple who are passionate about spreading the joy and relaxation of creating with your hands.

In addition to working with companies such as Hermès, Pinterest and Amazon we have also taught thousands of students our take on modern hand embroidery via our patterns and online courses.
