‘The English Daisy’ is a beautiful design which covers three different embroidery techniques. These are surface embroidery, stumpwork and goldwork. This class is suitable for anyone who has not stitched for many years or who would like to start, as well as for more experienced stitchers. It covers a few simple hand embroidery stitches, such as stem stitch, long & short stitch and chain stitch, stumpwork with petals stitched over wire along with two little stumpwork bees and the goldwork technique of chips. This will give you an exciting insight into these lovely techniques which will enable you
to go on to try many other hand embroidery techniques.
Completed embroidery measures 13cm x 11cm.
The class kit will include everything you require to complete the project. You will need to bring your own embroidery scissors, pins and an embroidery hoop.
Please bring a magnifier and light (if needed).
The class will be held at The Garden House, a beautiful 12 acre estate in Devon and a 'plantsman's paradise'. There is a café and a shop onsite in addition to the stunning grounds.
