Welcome to Embroidered Knot Gardens, the website for the book by Owen Davies and Gill Holdsworth

Create your own beautiful embroidered garden that will grow from the canvas into a fabulous three-dimensional piece, using stumpwork, canvas work, beading and ribbon work.

Inspired by the lush and peaceful havens of the 16th and 17th centuries to more contemporary and seasonal designs, this practical guide demonstrates all the techniques you need to bring your own garden to life with a needle and thread.



Owen Davies trained at the Royal School of Needlework where he now the Head of Education. He was the Royal School of Needlework's first male Apprentice and teaches hand embroidery workshops extensively to students and visitors from around the world, the embroidered knot garden course being one of the country's most popular courses. As a freelance embroiderer he devised and set up the Needlework Consultancy with the John Lewis Partnership. Owen's work is seen across the UK and on television.
