Painting with Thread: Floral Embroidery Workshop

About Painting with Thread: Floral Embroidery Workshop

Lucy will teach you an expressive style, using colour blending and shading to achieve a painterly look perfect for flowers. Great for beginners and practised stitchers looking to try something new!

During the workshop we will sew a sampler hoop of the basic stitches, and with Lucy's guidance, you will create your own unique floral design. There will be a wide variety of colours, fabric and templates available. Lucy’s embroidery artwork will also be on display throughout the workshop for inspiration.

Your ticket includes all the materials: fabric, threads, templates, an embroidery hoop and needle, as well as instructional sheets and access to video tutorials so you can continue to learn more after the workshop.
