Saturday 25th January - Embroidery with Nadine - plants and fungi
As well as learning a range of stitches and making your own hand embroidered design you'll take away with you all the tools to keep stitching at home including a wooden embroidery hoop, needle and two threads in colours of your choice.
The workshop will be led by Nadine Shaban, a local artist who over the years has spent many hours lost in the art of embroidery, incorporating it into clothing, sculptures and paintings.
Fear not if you think you can't draw or have never picked up a needle and thread. The morning will be relaxed, allowing you to go at your own pace, with support and guidance throughout the workshop. Or if you're an experienced sewer and would like to come along to make something new and be inspired it will be great to see you there too.
All materials and equipment will be provided. But if you have a piece of fabric or clothing that you'd like to customise with some embroidery feel free to bring that along.
Drinks and light refreshments will be available.
If you have any queries please email nadine.e.z.shaban@gmail.com.
