William Morris Inspired Embroidery Workshop
Create your own Morris-inspired embroidery piece with experienced tutor Anabel Cano on this workship at Dovecot Studios on Saturday 25th June.
About William Morris Inspired Embroidery Workshop
You'll walk out of this workshop with a big smile on your face and the skills and confidence to try your hand at a variety of embroidery projects. You will learn 6 basic but versatile stitches, some beading techniques and will end up with a beautiful textile piece based on Dovecot’s current Morris Wallpaper exhibition, featuring symmetric, colourful botanical embroidery on exquisite jade-coloured linen. The session is aimed at complete beginners or those wanting to pick up embroidery after a long break, although more experienced embroiderers will enjoy learning how to use stitches more creatively. We will look at all the basic aspects of embroidery, from using a hoop to choosing from different kinds of needles, fabrics and threads. ALL MATERIALS INCLUDED.
Anabel Cano, of Chucky & the Hoop Creative Embroidery, is a textile artist and tutor. She teaches embroidery, quilting and textile mixed-media and her workshops are relaxed, fun and creative yet highly informative and carefully planned. She has taught at a variety of Guilds, Galleries and Textile Studios in Edinburgh and Southern Scotland.
