About the Workshop

This design provides an opportunity to learn a range of crewel stitches including split back stitch, jacobean couching, long and short stitch, bullion knots, buttonhole stitch and fly stitch. Each tea cup is worked in different stitches and we will work part of each cup during the workshop. It may be possible for students to complete the whole design over two days, if work is done at home between the two days. Full instructions will be given to students who wish to make the design into a hanging (as shown in the photograph below).
