Art of embroidery series: Creative Interpretations of stitch Wilma Simmons
Course Overview
Beginners and experienced stitchers welcome.
Come and learn the art of stitching – The last workshop in this series brings all of the previous lessons, knowledge and experience together creatively.
In this workshop with Wilma Simmons, you will learn to apply creatively stitches with a choice of colour palette. Enjoy using various stitches to interpret what you see – you will be guided gently to develop confidence to make decisions about choice of stitch, threads, and colours to bring a design of your own to life. Each participant will have fun exploring design and creating a unique stitched work.

Bring your own scissors, needle, drawing pencil or felt tipped pen, notebook, embroidery hoop (8/9”), 0.5 calico, frixon pen and up to three favourite colours of strained embroidery thread.
