    Description

    You will be taught and guided as you learn, but with some freedom for individuality in design. You will have the opportunity to experiment with some specialty threads along your stitching journey.

    You'll learn a variety of embroidery stitches on a patterned fabric (you'll have a choice of fabrics) and will produce an original piece of work (about 25cm square) with your own artistic input. This embroidered piece could be used to create an envelope style bag or potentially framed as an artwork. 

    This is a beginner level class.

    What to bring

    Nothing.  All materials are included within your course fee.
