About the Author
After graduating from the International Christian University and Otsuka Textile Design College in Japan, Emi worked as a professional beaded jewellery artist and contributed towards a number of beadwork and bead embroidery books. Graduating from the RSN Apprenticeship with top honours, she was awarded the Charrington Broderer's Prize for top apprentice; the Hilda Watson prize for Silk Shading; and the Gold & Silver Wyre Drawers prize for her Coronation Goldwork. Since 2010, Emi has been the RSN's tutor in Japan and teaches the Certificate & Diploma Courses in Tokyo and Osaka. Emi has organized two exhibitions of RSN work at the Kitagawa Gallery in Tokyo and she considers that her life's mission is to share the skills of traditional English embroidery, and the joy of expressing oneself through embroidery, both of which she has learned through the Royal School of Needlework. eminimura.com
