Join this online workshop Stitiching Along with Jan Beaney and Jean Littlejohn.
During this workshop Jan and Jean will select two stitches to show the ‘correct’ traditional method followed by suggesting unusual, textural and fun approaches to both stitches. Freer interpretations and designs will be shown too.
Participants will have an opportunity to experience their philosophy of handstitch and gain practical stitch experience in innovative ways. At the end of the workshop attendees will have increased confidence in using stitch in a way that will have a positive impact on their future work and be inspired to have a go and experiment on their own.
