Jan Timms Tambour Beading and Embroidery

I am a tambour beading and tambour embroidery tutor. For many years I worked in costume and couture as a designer technician and I now concentrate on teaching tambour beading and tambour embroidery to keep the skills alive.   Tambour is an incredibly versatile  craft and is used among other techniques to produce needle made lace such as Limerick Lace, Coggeshall Lace, Lier Lace, applique, surface chain stitch, satin stitch as well as being used for the application of beads and sequins.
