We are very excited to welcome Leeds based textile artist and tutor Elnaz Yazdani for an Introduction to Embroidery workshop.

You will be guided through a variety of beautiful hand embroidery techniques and stitches using an array of different coloured threads to create your own unique piece of hoop art. All the stitches you'll learn can apply to any cloth, item of clothing or accessory so you can carry on stitching beyond the workshop.

Embroidery is also a great way to keep calm and reduce stress levels so come and enjoy the meditative wonders of the process of embroidery.

Who is the workshop for?

The workshop is suitable for complete beginners as well as those with some embroidery experience, all levels are welcome. All materials and equipment will be provided.

What's included in the workshop
