About this Event
You’ll work over a hand printed base, using one of Dionne’s most popular images overlooking a local Yorkshire Reservoir. Dionne will discuss how she developed this image as you put a personal touch to your artwork, building up a layered composition using different embroidery stitches.
All materials will be provided, and you’ll leave with a beautiful artwork, ready framed in an embroidery hoop. The session is suitable for beginners and improvers.
