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 is an avid sampler collector who regularly shares her Norfolk samplers and extensive research into the girls who created them on Instagram as @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.
