Meet the Golden Hinde Team
Office Manager
Kate

Kate has been working for Golden Hinde for 6 years, and is our office manager so she deals with all the day to day running of the office and delegation of tasks to staff. If you have ever given us a call or sent an e-mail then the highly likely that your query or order has been dealt with by Kate,  if she doesn't know the answer she usually knows who does, and will get back to you. 
Kate also completes the Newsletters, and helps with the social media. In addition to constantly updating the website. 


When Kate started at Golden Hinde she didn't know too much about embroidery, but was willing to learn and attended some of Sarah's Goldwork classes. Attending classes has enabled Kate to learn the basics and what you can do with the threads and wires. Her creations to date have been a hummingbird and her version of Disney's Woody from Toy story, both of which were created as gifts for family and friends. 

In addition to Goldwork Kate has tried her hand at Whitework, Blackwork and Tabour. 

Opening Hours

As of the 9th September we have been back to normal. As always our opening hours are 9-3pm Monday to Friday

You can of course send us e-mails out of Office hours or contact us via social media and we will get back to you as soon as we can. 

We are also back to our regular classes on Monday and Tuesdays, if you are interested in joining us then please send us an e-mail and we can check class availability.  

Please be aware that it is show season for us from October (more details below) and there maybe a hold up on dispatch, as the majority of stock is taken to the shows. Please rest assured if we have the stock in the office we will send out straight away .

Post Days

We have had a few customers ask if there goods have been dispatched, so i thought that i would let you know how and when we post.

Our usual post days are Tuesday and Thursday, this is because it falls in line with Sue's working days. We post the majority of our items via Royal mail and we now offer the option of tracked and signed for a lot of international customers (if available this will come up as an option). We also give the option of courier for the majority of countries.

October Offer

10% off all Charts 

Charts are a wonderful way of having a design ready to go but being able to make it your own. They come with instructions that you can follow or you can pick your own colours or threads and use the instructions as a guide. 

Pictures above are Golden Aura, Blue Fantasy and Copper Delight. (L-R) 

We have 8 Charts currently in the range to choose from and they are a great way to use up any threads and wires you already have.

Free Fabric

We have some 22 pieces of our gorgeous Church Linen to give away. It will be on a first come first served, they are all approximately 6" X 4" (some are slightly bigger, some smaller) and they would be excellent for a small project i.e a brooch. 

Church Linen is a very high quality fabric and retails at £75 per metre. So this is an opportunity to try the fabric

All we ask is that you spend a minimum of £15 and add the coupon code freelinen and we will automatically send you a piece of Church Linen.

Wonderfil Wonderguard

We all have the odd reel with left over threads and wires from a project or design, what can you do with them? You don't want them to tarnish, where can you store them?? 

We have a wonderful solution called Wonder Guard, this film is designed to wrap around your threads/wires which prevents them from unravelling but also stops any tarnishing. We use this on our products too.
