Date: Monday 17th August
Time: 10am - 3:00pm
Lecturer: Jo Dixey
Discover the fun of stitching your own personalised letter in this creative one-day workshop! Perfect for all levels of stitchers’, this class focuses on simple surface stitching techniques while guiding you step-by-step to create a beautifully detailed, hand-stitched monogram.
You’ll choose your letter from a workbook, paying a small fee directly to artist Evan Lewis author of the book - Garden of Curiosities - a design workbook which is full of Renaissance-inspired motifs for modern day crafting. Images of flowers and foliage line the pages and will make your piece uniquely yours.
Using thoughtfully designed patterns, Jo will teach you how to transfer your design, build confidence with foundational stitches, and bring your letter to life with texture and style (approximately 5cm tall).
By the end of the day, you will have gained skills you can use across a wide range of embroidery projects.
