SCHOOLCHILDREN will get the chance to learn about traditional stitching techniques from an embroiderer who worked on the Duchess of Cambridge's wedding dress this month. Jenny Adin-Christie first visited St Mary's, Beaconsfield in the summer, as she worked on a commission to produce new altar frontals.

The community were invited to see her working on the project.

More than 190 people visited and chatted to her about her techniques.

She also gave a lecture on her work. Jenny has worked on many church commissions and designed work for other historic buildings.

She trained at the Royal School of Needlework and has a passion to create works with a contemporary look that fit into a traditional setting and are sustainable.

Jenny is also a well-respected tutor who travels the world to teach a variety of traditional and modern textile techniques.
