Valentine’s Day's just around the corner 💌

If you’re planning something thoughtful (and not last-minute!), the shop is full of ideas - cards, wrapping paper, stitched pieces and handmade gifts that feel personal rather than predictable.

It’s a lovely time to browse quietly and find something that really suits the person you’re buying for.

A gentle reminder that the Pre-Loved Art Sale is on in our Sail Loft Gallery from Wednesday until its last day on Saturday 🎨

With a mix of framed and unframed artwork, ceramics and unexpected finds, it’s a lovely exhibition to browse at your own pace. Why not come and give a piece of art a new home?

Open until 14 February, Wednesday–Saturday, 10am–4pm.

Some of the work I’ll be sharing in my upcoming Art of Paper Embroidery exhibition has been quietly shaped by my recent trip to Morocco ✨

The colours, textures and sense of place have found their way into new pieces - subtle influences - and I’m really enjoying showing you how my work is developing.

If you’d like to explore more of my stitched work beyond the gallery, you can also find it over on my personal website:

Workshop day in the Sail Loft 💌

Today I’m hosting the Valentine’s Card Paper Embroidery Taster Session, sharing the basics of paper embroidery in a calm, friendly space.

Hello February - I’ve got some exciting personal news to share ✨

I’ve launched a new website for my own artwork:
👉 samluxford.com

It’s a space dedicated to my stitched work, books and creative projects - separate from NaviStitch, but closely connected. You can still book workshops through NaviStitch, but this new site brings everything else together under the Sam Luxford name.

To celebrate, I’m offering 10% off via the site until the end of February.

It’s still evolving, but I’m really pleased to finally share it.
