FLO COLLINGWOOD (Friday November 6th and Saturday November 7th)

With Flo Collingwood

A 2 day workshop discovering both traditional and more unusual surface embroidery stitches worked on a toadstool or mouse design by Flo.
Stitches include Trellis, padded satin, closed herringbone, whipped and woven wheels, couched and outline stitches, knotted stitches and detached stitches such as seeding and chain.
These are often seen in traditional crewelwork using wool, but can also be really effective in more intricate, detailed designs using one or two strands of stranded cotton or silk. Spangles, buttons and other threads can also be used to great effect within the design.
Worked on cotton fabric but silk or linen can also be used.
The kit for the workshop includes instructions, one of the two designs on fabric and all the threads and needles needed for the project. As well as buttons and spangles and any other additional materials used in the designs.
This is a two day workshop
 
The kit cost is £24 or the fabric with the design can be bought separately for £8 without the threads and other materials, paid directly to the tutor. We request a 50% deposit at the time of booking. Full payment is required no later than 14 working days prior to the workshop date.
