Enjoy a very special weekend of slow stitching with Wendy Mansfield. Use your favourite modern and vintage fabric scraps as well as those bits of lace and buttons that you couldn’t bear to throw out. Learn new stitches. Try out new creative ideas. Capture a special memory.
The weekend has been structured for beginners through to more experienced embroiderers. You will learn several embroidery techniques, including Sashiko and Shisha Mirror Embroidery. At the end of the weekend, you will have a foundation for a Sampler Book that you can continue stitching when you get home, to then share with friends and family. You’ll receive a linen foundation book as part of the retreat.
The cost for this book is included in your fee. Wendy will also bring spare fabric pages which you can add your designs to. Buttons, lace, ribbons, and threads will be for sale on the day
By popular demand, Goldwork has been added to this weekend. Bring a goldwork project along or learn a new technique that you can add to your Sampler Book.
