Course description

This course has been designed to help beginners with a basic knowledge of hand embroidery to increase their stitch library and for intermediate stitchers who would like to learn the process of creating their own designs.

The sessions will begin with the focus being on basic design skills for hand embroidery and the introduction of themes such as space and balance when creating a design.

You will also learn how to transfer the design created to fabric and use colours to create a theme with embroidery threads, giving you the skills to make a design that is within the course theme but is still personalised.

As the course progresses, there will be a number of different stitches to learn each week and apply to the design you have created.

During this course you will have the opportunity to produce basic stitch combinations to add texture and form to hand embroidery and you will learn how to use embroidery tools and threads in the best way to create good outcomes.

Do come and join us as we make an embroidered sampler or Tote bag with an embroidered Summer Floral Wreath design; you will also develop the knowledge to create your own basic wreath design.
