Go from being a new or novice embroiderer to creating your own sampler in this inspiring workshop.
This Introduction to Hand Embroidery Workshop is for those who have no hand embroidery experience at all or those who know a little about hand embroidery and perhaps haven't done any for a long time.
This three hour workshop will take you from being a novice or new embroiderer through to knowing a range of stitches and having the confidence to continue after the workshop finishes.
We'll start at the beginning with lots of tips on how to thread a needle more easily and how to choose fabric and threads as well as how to use an embroidery hoop effectively.
We'll then move on to learning a selection of hand embroidery stitches; how to work them traditionally and how to alter them to get new and interesting effects.
Your embroidery will be worked on to your choice of fabric to make your own unique hand embroidery sampler to show off your newly learnt skills.
Each workshop participant will receive a beautifully curated gift box so that the creativity can continue after the workshop finishes.
All materials are included. The workshop is held at The Weigh To Shop, 29C Front Street, Pity Me, Durham, DH1 5EE from 2-5pm.
The Weigh To shop will be closed to the public during the workshop, however workshops participants will have exclusive use of the shop to buy refreshments or stock up on products.
