Wed 8th June 2pm - 3:30pm (UK time)
This LivePlus™ online workshop forms part of our 'back to basics' range of classes, and is specifically designed for absolute beginners and those looking to build confidence using particular materials.
Workshop details
This workshop is a perfect opportunity to have a fun time doodling with thread. Faith will teach you how to use eight different stitches to create an embroidery that measures approximately 11 cm across. Of course, you can make it bigger if you wish! You can copy the design shown or create your very own unique composition.
During the workshop Faith will teach you how to embroider each of the eight stitches onto a plain cotton background. You will also be shown how some of these stitches can appear quite different depending on how you use them. You will be able to use each stitch to doodle your design as densely or lightly as you wish to create your own unique design.
Faith will demonstrate the stitches using stranded cotton and give you suggestions for different colour schemes. You will receive a handout that includes each of the stitches.
Specific skills you will learn at the workshop
