Course Details
Come and join me for a relaxing morning of fun and experimental hand embroidery in the inspirational setting of Denmans Gardens, Fontwell. Suitable for complete beginners, or those with some experience, come and experiment with hand stitch and mixed media in this fun and experimental workshop, based around a garden theme. Taking “the secret garden” as our theme, we'll begin by making a simple background for our embroidery, enhancing our fabric base with paint and pigments. Next, we’ll look at adding small pieces of fabric or paper to build up a simple collaged picture. We’ll explore a range of mixed media, such as printing and stamping to build up layers and add to our backgrounds. Enjoy embellishing further with some beautiful pieces of vintage lace and embroidery, or perhaps some beads and buttons, to enhance the garden theme. There will be a whole range of materials on hand to experiment and play with. You will learn a variety of hand stitches and embroidery techniques, such as couching and making Suffolk Puffs. Why not enjoy a relaxing and creative morning of hand stitching in this unique workshop and then treat yourself to lunch in the cafe and a look around the gardens? Price includes all materials.
