Slow down, stitch mindfully, and discover the joy of hand embroidery in this relaxed workshop inspired by the beauty of nature. Inspired by wildflowers, rolling waves, and the calming rhythm of slow stitching, this beginner-friendly workshop is the perfect introduction to the timeless craft of hand embroidery. Using colourful threads, you’ll learn a collection of essential embroidery stitches as you create your own embroidered sampler, choosing from a delicate wildflower or calming coastal wave design.
Along the way, you’ll learn stitches including:
  • Running stitch
  • Back stitch
  • Split stitch
  • Chain stitch
  • Seed stitch
  • French knots
  • Lazy daisy
You'll build confidence with every stitch.
Suitable for complete beginners, this workshop is the perfect introduction to embroidery and a chance to enjoy two hours of creative calm.
Guided by textile artist Zara Cosgrove, you’ll discover how simple stitches can bring nature to life in thread, learn a new skill, and create something uniquely yours.
You’ll leave with your finished embroidery, a handy stitch reference guide, and the confidence to continue your embroidery journey.
What to bring You don't need to bring anything. Thread, hoops, and needles will be available to use on the day.
What you leave with You will take home the work you have created, your hoop, needle, enough thread to keep practising, and instructions for the stitches you have been taught.
Your Tutor Zara is a textile artist and teacher, a mother of two daughters, and the owner of one much-loved cat, Betty. With over 25 years’ experience teaching textiles, a degree in Textiles, and a Master's in Fashion Knitwear completed at Central Saint Martins, she brings both deep expertise and genuine warmth to her work. When she’s not teaching, Zara can often be found pottering in the garden, dipping in the sea, or happily surrounded by needles, threads, yarns, and all things textile. Her classes at Makers Studio Eastbourne are calm, friendly, and confidence-building, offering beginners clear guidance, individual support, and the mindful joy of learning to knit and to embroider.
