About Norfolk NeedleArt

Established by Bethany Clements and Joanne Lukacher, Norfolk NeedleArt is dedicated to presenting fine needle art designs and kits inspired by the captivating 18th- and 19th-century samplers of Norfolk England.

Bethany Clements collects Norfolk samplers and regularly shares images of samplers from her collection and the extensive research she conducts into the girls who created them on Instagram at @Norfolksamplers.

Joanne Martin Lukacher is a sampler scholar who published the first book identifying Norfolk sampler design as a specific regional type, placing the young needleworkers and their lives in the context of the history and traditions of this distinctive English county. Imitation and Improvement: The Norfolk Sampler Tradition was published in 2013 by In the Company of Friends Press.
