The course will cover several embroidery techniques including: surface stitching, counted stitches, beadwork and silk shading. There will be time to explore, experiment, practise and develop new skills taught to you by our tutor Heather, who is a professional hand embroiderer.

All learners will need a pair of small, sharp embroidery scissors.

All materials needed for the workshop are provided at a cost of £10.00, which is payable to the tutor in cash at the start of the course.

Alternatively, learners can bring their own embroidery hoop, cotton fabrics, aida or evenweave linen, embroidery threads, beads and embroidery needles with them.

Please bring your own refreshments if required (including hot drinks if preferred) as none are provided by the venue.

Please bring your own hand sanitiser and sanitiser wipes.

Employers value employees who have strong transferable skills, as they tend to have the tools to help them go beyond their job description.
