BOOK THIS WORKSHOP

Goldfish among the Water Lilies

Picture
Copyright © Threads 2020
Blackwork originated in Tudor England, commonly thought to have been introduced to the country by Katharine of Aragon.  This design by Cathy is worked on Aida fabric and includes two  geometric blackwork patterns, highlighted with some goldwork, not uncharacteristic of the period. The embroidery measures approximately 8" x 8" and is shown in a 10" embroidery hoop.

Suitability - Intermediate 
Suitable for those with some experience of embroidery. If you are a beginner, it is suggested that you work the Blackwork Honey Bees first.

Date(s)
Thursday 17th June 2021 (2 places remaining)

What you need to bring

Please note special arrangements in place during the Covid-19 Pandemic by clicking here. You should bring your own 10" embroidery hoop and sewing kit. All materials and equipment are normally provided (box frame NOT included),  but you may wish to bring your own 10" embroidery hoop if you have one. A seat frame is always best, but not essential. Please note that if you use your own hoop, both rings should be bound with white cotton fabric (e.g. bias binding). Alternatively, you may borrow a clip on frame for the day.  

Cost
£49 per person including all materials.

About the Workshop

The design is pre-printed onto the Aida fabric for you. You will learn to work two different geometric patterns, commonly known as 'diapers', as well as shading techniques and some goldwork elements. This workshop is not suitable for complete beginners.
