PERPETUAL ADVENT CALENDAR WITH CLARE COWBURN BAKER - MONDAY 24TH NOVEMBER 2025
Explore the art of embroidery and create an heirloom Advent Calendar which can hung on December 1st to herald the Christmas season, ready to be adorned with sweet treats, year after year. Clare will show you how to construct the calendar from the finest linen and embroider with cotton threads. You will take home a finished calendar (to which you can add more embroidery after the event).
What to expect
Expert tutelage in a friendly and uplifting environment
Learn how to construct the base fabric and hanging and be able to personalise your design.
Learn 5 plus embroidery stitches including blanket stitch, feather stitch, French knots, slip stitch and split stitch.
You will be able to take home the calendar (hopefully complete but with the threads to complete at home, if necessary).
Practical details
This is a full day course starting at 10am and finishing at 3.30pm at the Bell in Ticehurst.
All materials and a light lunch will be provided.
If you can sew on a button or fix a hem this course should be fine for you.
For a very special experience, enjoy a night or three at The Bell in Ticehurst. If you would like to bring a partner who doesn’t want to do a course, there are plenty of great things to do locally – a perfect staycation to explore the delights of the Kent/Sussex countryside or our favourite arty places locally.
Do try to book early, this is a very popular destination and much in demand. Let them know you are attending a course, and enjoy a free glass of bubbles on us with your dinner.
Booking direct should always offer you the best rate but occasionally the not so friendly algorithms thwart that ambition. If you find a better rate elsewhere, The Bell will always match it. Booking direct helps the business to thrive and how much nicer is it to talk to a real person who can help you with room choices and logistics. A great start to your stay.
Should you be unable to attend, for whatever reason - we are unable to offer refunds for our courses. You are welcome to transfer your course to friends or family, please let us know who will be attending in your place. Alternatively we will try to sell your place via our database and social media once the course has reached capacity. If successful, we will refund or offer an alternative course subject to availability. Please note we will deduct a 10% admin charge for any refunds that are made.
