Stencil and Stitch Hoop-Art Workshop

Learn the decorative art of stencil printing and enjoy adding simple embroidery during this class in Wimborne.



5 hours Class size 1 to 8 guests       £70 (PayPal Pay in 3 available)

This workshop is ideal for both beginners and more confident textile crafters and includes hand printing, fabric appliqué, and simple embroidery stitches.
In a relaxed, guided session with demonstrations, support, and plenty of practice time, you’ll learn how to stencil-print successfully onto fabric using my pre-made stencils that echo the current season. Think flowers, foliage, seed heads, and homely jugs—all coming together with paint and stitch.
Once the stencilled designs of the morning have been completed, the afternoon session moves to learning a range of easy embroidery stitches to enhance your printed pieces. Nothing complex—just simple and enjoyable, perfect for mindful relaxation.
You will also learn how to split and blend coloured embroidery threads to create beautiful shading effects. Finally, you will learn how to mount and present your work in a wooden hoop, ready to hang on the wall or give as a truly unique gift. By the end of the day, you’ll take home a selection of colourful printed samplers featuring jugs, teacups, foliage, and flowers—as well as the confidence and know-how to continue this relaxing, creative stitching at home.
Fabric blanks and an embroidery hoop are included, and you’ll be able to use my own hand-mixed fabric paints along with embroidery threads to get you started.
Aprons are provided on the day, but it's best to wear clothes you are happy to get mucky. Workshop content and colours may differ slightly from the images.
There will be morning and afternoon refreshments included. Please bring a packed lunch with you.
Gift vouchers can be arranged for this course; it makes for a wonderful birthday treat that is enjoyed long after the event.
What you'll get
Fabric squares to stencil onto, an embroidery hoop and the knowledge to continue the relaxed simple embroidery at home.

female Women-owned

Based in Dorset in the south of England, I’m a Stencil printing artist & teacher, passionate about helping people unlock their own creativity.
From first setting eyes on a beautiful linen and embroidered project in my Granny’s sewing box as a child, my love affair with all things textile and creative started.
With the opportunity to study art & design at college in the 80’s, I then set up my own studio as a craft maker before moving into the world of commercial retail design for several decades.
I now feel that I have come a full 360 degrees back to my original joy for hands-on making, sharing my wealth of knowledge with those eager to explore the joys of craft. Passionate about helping people gain the pleasure and benefits of crafting, I ensure that the standard of my teaching, stencil kits and workshop experiences are high.
In today's digital age, with constant screen interaction and life stresses, returning to mindful, relaxing activities is crucial for mental wellbeing and happiness.
