Learn the basics of hand embroidery with our Textiles Workshop Manager, Sara, in this 3-hour introductory class.
During the session, you will create your own library of stitches that will help inform your future embroidery projects. The session covers a variety of stitches - starting with the basics and working towards more difficult and varied techniques. These skills can then be transferred to repair work, as well as dressmaking and many other artistic avenues. All materials will be provided.
