“The Happy Embroidery Workshop” is an opportunity to make some “me” time, to develop a sense of wellbeing through being creative. You can meet new people and relax whilst being creative with stitch.

You will have the choice of making a large or mini hoop embroidery with inspirational words or decorative image or pattern on.

Both finished embroideries look amazing hung up on display, the mini hoop embroidery has the added bonus of being able to be worn as a piece of jewellery.

You will learn how to use simple hand stitching techniques to create an inspirational embroidered message in a hoop.

All materials will be provided, including the hoop and hanging ribbon for display. There will be lots of inspirational quotes to work from, or you can use your own. The completed hoops look fantastic on display in any interior.

This workshop is suitable for the absolute beginner, alternatively there will be enough scope to allow the serious stitcher to get creative.

This workshop is suitable for ages 11yrs and above.
