Your teachers: Charles and Elin

We are a French/Swedish married artist couple who are on a mission to spread the joy and relaxation of creating with your hands.

Since 2016 we've grown a collective audience of 450k+ spread across Instagram (@petronella.art & @_charleshenry_), Pinterest and YouTube.

We've also had the chance to work with companies such as Hermès, and had the great privilege to teach 5000+ students our take on modern hand embroidery via Charles and Elin Academy.

In September 2020 we published our first book “Mindful Embroidery" with Page Street Publishing.
