Class Description

Description

In this workshop with Sarah K. Benning, you will learn the basic preparatory and stitching methods necessary to create your own piece of embroidered wall art. This workshop is designed for all skill levels from embroidery beginners to seasoned stitchers and will walk you through each step of the process from transferring your design to preparing your hoop to hang. A selection of hand-drawn botanical designs will be available for you to chose from and an introduction the necessary stitches will be provided. 

Sarah offers a contemporary approach to embroidery, pulling it out of the past and into the light of the 21st century with modern designs and a relaxed attitude. She emphasises drawing, composition, and fresh color combinations over traditional techniques and rigid structures. Her workshops celebrate intuitive decision making and a departure from the conventions of hand-embroidery. 

No experience necessary.
