Embroidery Design with Couching/Slow Stitch

Grow your hand embroidery knowledge with textile artist Carol-Ann Allan and learn the basics of Couching. Within this workshop we will look at how to create an embroidered design using Couching and slow Stitching. Couching involves laying a section of embroidery thread (or a similar material) onto your fabric and stitching over it onto the work to form your design. This embroidery technique can be used to create texture within a design and covers a larger surface area. We will also incorporate running stitch and using different threads. Course Level: Beginner Note : If you have a small sewing kit (needles and small scissors) please bring along. Artist bio: CarolAnn is an artist and educator specialising in hand embroidery based in Yorkshire. She also teaches Eco Printing, Slow Stitching and visible mending. CarolAnn's own practice explores the importance of Slow textiles and traditional skills, naturally dying her own fabrics and threads from her garden.
