She developed her skills at the Royal School of Needlework, taking their needlework classes in the 1990s and obtaining numerous certificates of excellence and Advanced Diplomas in a variety of disciplines. To-date, she has mastered Goldwork, Whitework, Stumpwork, Canvas Work, Silk Shading, Advanced Silk Shading, Tassle-making, Blackwork, Creative Smoking and Appliqué.
