From Nature's Detail ~ Abstract Embroidery: Part 2

Returning to the hoop ~ deepening texture, adding dimension, and bringing your work to life. In this second session of the From Nature's Detail series, we return to the embroidery begun in Part 1 and keep building. With your painted background and first stitches already in place, this session is about deepening the work ~ introducing new stitches to expand your stitch vocabulary, and exploring the addition of beads and fabric pieces to create new layers of texture and a richer sense of dimension. We'll look at how these elements can echo the natural detail that inspired your original design, adding depth and surface interest that thread alone can't always achieve. There will also be space to slow down and really look at what your piece needs ~ to make considered decisions about where to stitch next, what to add, and when to leave well enough alone. That kind of quiet discernment is part of the practice too. This session is open to those who attended Part 1. If you're joining us for the first time, please get in touch to check suitability before booking. This workshop is designed to feel like a creative pause ~ slow, soothing, exploratory, and grounding. Come back to the work, and see what it's becoming.
