About Hope & Elvis

You'll find the Hope & Elvis studio  a wonderfully inspirational place to spend some creative time away from the hustle and bustle of everyday chaos! Enjoy a break from your routine at one of our art or textile workshops in a large studio on the North Nottinghamshire Welbeck Estate, nestled in Sherwood Forest. Many students have been visiting for years and continue to find inspiration and friendship here.

Why not join us and find that for yourself?

Previous workshop tutors have included Jane Chipp, Liz Cooksey and Mandy Pattullo. We stitch, sketch, apply, assemble, paint, produce… whatever you enjoy or are hoping to learn! Check out our upcoming workshops here and see which one tempts you.

As a lover of vintage textiles and ephemera, the studio is full of my collections –– the ideal sources of inspiration for your own craft, with many materials available for using in your own projects.

About Emma

"Hello, I'm Emma, and I'm thrilled to be the fourth owner of Hope & Elvis. Having attended many classes at the studio when it was ran by each of my three predecessors for nearly a decade, I feel so lucky to be stepping into such a rich and inspiring history.

I first attended a Mrs Bertimus class at Hope & Elvis whilst completing my degree in Decorative Arts at NTU. I then trained as an Art teacher which I loved, however in 2025 I was fortunate enough to be offered to take on this fabulous business that I've loved so dearly, and I'm really looking forward to welcoming you all through the doors to share the Hope & Elvis magic."
