'Stitching With Liz & Helen' is a collaboration between two Royal School of Needlework tutors, Liz Tapper & Helen Jones (www.stitchwork.co.uk), to bring the art of needlework to Exeter. We aim to provide classes in a range of techniques and for varying skill levels. Please do get in touch if there's a particular course you would like to see listed.
This day will explore a variety of needlelaces, starting with some basic patterns and including some traditional stitches. We will also sample needlelace bars, couronnes and picots. At the end of the day participants will have a sampler of stitches and techniques for future reference. No previous experience required.
The materials will include everything you require to complete the project. You will need to bring your own embroidery scissors and you will be able to borrow ring frames on the day.
Please bring a magnifier and light (if needed).
This class will run from 10.30am-4.00pm at Exeter Community Centre, 17 St David's Hill, Exeter EX4 3RG, with half an hour for lunch.
