This event has been cancelled, please contact the Box Office for more information.

This beginner’s hand embroidery workshop will introduce you to a number of simple and intermediate hand embroidery stitches.

We will experiment with all the stitches together during the class on your choice of either a flower or leaf motif, starting with the very simple and then exploring some slightly more complex combinations. We will also aim to add a few embellishments and spangles to enhance your embroidery. By the end of the workshop, you should feel confident to complete any unfinished work at home. The design can then be used as a patch to embellish clothing or mounted in either a hoop or frame.

A design kit including fabric, threads, needle, embroidery hoop, embellishments and stitch plan will be provided, with pencils and scissors available to borrow. Please feel free to bring embroidery scissors, hoops etc. with you if you have them and a notebook and pencil will be useful to make notes.

Duration: 10am - 1pm
