Under the careful guidance of Louise, you will be creating artful embroidery on beautifully hand dyed fabrics created exclusively in her studio.
Using a combination of slow stitch and embroidery sampler stitching styles. You'll begin the workshop by learning a selection of hand embroidery stitches that make up the back bone of all other embroidery stitches - both how to embroider these traditionally and then altering them to make new and interesting effects. You'll embroider away with new stitches being taught as needed.
By the end of the workshop you will have learnt a range of beautiful hand embroidery stitches and be taking away a unique piece of embroidered artwork.
Please note - this workshop is suitable for beginners but they must be 18+
