Introduction to Hand Embroidery Workshop in Durham

A workshop for those who would love to learn the basics of hand embroidery in Durham. This three hour workshop held in Durham, will take you from being a novice or new embroiderer through to knowing a range of stitches and having the confidence to continue after the workshop finishes. We'll start at the beginning with lots of tips on how to thread a needle more easily and how to choose fabric and threads as well as how to use an embroidery hoop effectively. We'll then move on to learning a selection of hand embroidery stitches; how to work them traditionally and how to alter them to get new and interesting effects. Your embroidery will be worked on to your choice of fabric to make your own unique hand embroidery sampler to show off your newly learnt skills. A carefully curated gift box is given to each participant so that the creativity can continue after the workshop finishes. All materials are included. The workshop is held at The Weigh To Shop, Durham from 2 -5pm. The shop will be closed to the public for the duration of the workshop. You are welcome to browse, stock up on products and purchase refreshments during the workshop. There is parking outside The Weigh To Shop and also a short distance away. Free tickets are available for carers who do not take part in workshop activity. Please contact me to arrange prior to the workshop.
