She now teaches machine embroidery, silk painting and surface decoration and runs courses at her studio. She also works to commission, and exhibits her embroideries in Britain and America. Her work is sold to private collectors all over the world.Here are two videos featuring Alison Holt and the techniques she uses. You will find lots more on You Tube.
