Creative Embroidery – Mandala one day workshop

Back by popular demand!

Mandala, meaning circle, is an abstract design with one identifiable centre point, from which emanates an array of shapes. The perfect place to be mindful and to put many colourful stitches.

Learn new skills and become absorbed and fascinated by this ancient art of narrative embroidery, with a modern twist.
Our workshops provide you with the six basic stitches used within the Quaker Tapestry: Stem, Split, Chain, Quaker, Bayeux Point and Peking Knot. In a relaxed and friendly environment our tutors will guide you through the stitches. Helping you work towards an embroidered picture to finish at home. You don’t need to have any experience in embroidery before you attend the workshop. For those of you who have done some stitching before, this is an opportunity to learn something new and refresh your skills.
