Intro to Raised Embroidery Techniques - Woodland Textures
Description
Join us for six hours of nature based stitching as we immerse ourselves in the world of raised embroidery inspired by our local ancient woodlands. In this brand new workshop Where Inspiration Blooms has teamed up with Viki Jenkins, an experienced local artist whose work is deeply rooted in the local flora and fauna of the Chilterns. Viki exhibited with us at Bucks Art Weeks for the first time this year and we fell in love with her intricate and intuitively delicate work. In this class Viki will be teaching how a collection of raised embroidery stitches can be used to create stunning woodland textures. Over the class you will learn how to stitch French knots, Bullion knots, turkey stitch, woven picots and cup stitches. These will then be combined with some basic bead embroidery to create mossy, woodland textures - which you can go on to expand on when you get home. All of your materials will be provided including fabric, needles, threads, a 7" hoops and beading. This will be a really informative but beautifully meditative workshop, from which we hope you can take home lots of new ideas for adapting your new portfolio of raised stitches into your own embroidery and textile practises.
