Welcome to Workshop on the Web, a quarterly publication exclusive to the internet, featuring the very best tutors from all points of the compass, giving step-by-step details of textile techniques and ideas for using those techniques creatively. Machine embroidery, hand stitching, mixed media work from metals to the latest developments in plastics technology and beyond - you'll find it all here. We review books and products and keep you in touch with all that's new. All for £15.50 British pounds for a year's subscription (click Subscribe for dollar equivalents).

Undecided? We have provided a Taster issue of Workshop on the Web which is entirely free and unrestricted. Future issues can be accessed by subscribers through a password. We promise that each issue will have at least six workshop features, an interview with a well-known embroiderer plus other articles of general interest. Also, products - not just what's new but how to use them, book reviews, news and views. Add all this together and it's far more than a magazine - more like getting a new book every quarter.

Advertisers can be accessed without restriction (no password) in the Traders' Mall and the Courses page. And an unrestricted Exhibitions section keeps you informed about what is going on in recent exhibitions.
