This is a fun activity in Manningtree, Colchester
This botanical-themed workshop with Sam Luxford starts with an introduction to the techniques of hand embroidery on paper. You will learn Stem Stitch, Lazy Daisy Stitch, Blanket Stitch, and Fly Stitch, combining these stitches with simple watercolour and mixed media to produce a finished A6 size mini artwork.
Each student will produce a unique piece, and your finished piece will be mounted to fit a 10x8 inch frame. You don't need any experience to join this crafty workshop -- just an enthusiasm to learn a new creative skill! Classes have a capacity of 8 to keep things relaxed.
Also included is a starter kit to take away with you to continue to enjoy paper embroidery when you get home. The starter kit contains:
- Cork board
- 4 tapestry needles
- Needle threader
- Pricking tool
- Threads
Please be aware that our workshop space is upstairs, and our stairs are fairly steep, but there are handrails on both sides.
You'll leave with a host of new paper embroidery skills, your completed masterpiece and the confidence to keep creating at home!
