Hand Embroidery 6 Week Course - Embroidered Flowers with Susan Rhodes

About this event

Join our hand embroidery tutor Susan Rhodes on a 6 week journey exploring a variety of stitches to make your own free form floral flowers Over the space of the six classes you will learn over 20 embroidery stitches which will build up to create a beautiful floral picture. Each session introduces a number of new stitches, from the basic classics such as satin and stem stitch, to more adventurous ones like Bullion Knots and Portuguese Stem Stitch. The fabric and needles will be included and we will discuss colour schemes in the first session. We will be working with Perle 8 thread or stranded cottons and if you have some of these in a colour scheme you like, please bring them with you. You will be able to buy threads on the day. By the end of the course you will have a flower-filled embroidery and know a wide range of stitches to take forward into your next projects.
