Workshop details
Crewelwork Embroidery is an ancient embroidery, dating back as far as the 11th century. The Bayeux Tapestry is one of the earliest surviving examples. Crewelwork continued to flourish throughout history and was refined and perfected during the reign of James 1st. This was known as the Jacobean period. Designs continue to evolve however, the exotic, stylized leaves, flowers, trees, birds, animals and insects of the Jacobean period continue to influence crewelwork today. With this in mind we invite you to indulge in a little ‘ME’ time and explore some Jacobean Crewelwork, a workshop for beginners.
Jacqueline, your embroidery tutor, was first taught Crewelwork as a child by her grandmother and then more recently with the Royal School of Needlework. In this workshop Jacqueline will introduce you to a range of outline, textural, filling and accent stitches most commonly used in Crewelwork today.
We have included a range of images below of Jacqueline’s own Crewelwork designs to give an overview of what can be achieved with some basic Crewelwork embroidery skills. In this beginners class, we will all work on the same design; however, you will have the opportunity to choose from various colourways if you purchase the accompanying kit (subject to availability).
Specific skills you will learn at the workshop
