Following an early interest in hand embroidery, Liz Tapper went on to study on the RSN Apprenticeship, graduating with a First Class qualification in 1998.

Since graduating, Liz has undertaken commissions from a number of high profile clients and organisations, for TV and from numerous private individuals, encompassing a wide range of techniques.  These commissions range from new work to the conservation and/or restoration of antique embroideries and textiles.

Liz teaches for the RSN and for embroidery and textile groups around the UK. She also designs and sells her own line of embroidery kits, embroidered art and a range of haberdashery through her company ‘Lenham Needlecraft & The Art of the Needle’

She is a member of the Society for Embroidered Work, the Somerset Guild of Craftsmen and the Heritage Crafts Association.
