A keen advocate and ambassador for hand embroidery, Lucy joined Hand & Lock first as a diligent and talented intern, before graduating and being invited to head up the Hand & Lock embroidery school. Her exceptional hand embroidery skills have won her a legion of online fans and delivered top prizes in the Hand & Lock Prize. Now she is tasked with sharing her natural talent and coaxing embroidery brilliance out of all our students.
