Want to try Hand Embroidery but don't know where to start?

I get it. Sometimes you don't want to commit to a longer class when trying something new. If you've ever wanted to try hand embroidery but are not sure where to start or even if it will be "your thing", then this short introductory class is perfect for you.

In this classes, you'll learn a variety of popular stitches and complete a charming floral embroidery within 3-4 hours

Your tutor, hand embroidery artist Tracy Kelly, will guide you every step of the way.

With a background in jewellery design and many years' experience as a tutor, Tracy is well know for her patience and attention to detail, and fostering a nurturing and supportive learning environment.

What You'll Learn:

• A variety of popular hand emrboidery stitches that you can use in future projects
• Embroidery hoop and thread preparation
• Project finishing techniques

What's Included (yours to keep):

• Embroidery hoop that can be used for future stitching or to display your embroidery
• Fabric, needle and threads to complete the project
• Printed pattern and stitch guide

Everything you need to complete your hand embroidery project is provided in the course.

Use your embroidery to add to a sewing project, or hang straight on your wall in its hoop to show off and admire.

What to Bring:

• Glasses (if you need them). We will be doing fine work and you'll need to see it.
• A small pair of fine tipped scissors - if you have them. If not, there will be scissors avilable to share in class.
• Tea, coffee and snacks will be provided. The studio is fully equipped with a kitchen (including fridge and microwave) and bathroom, and is air-conditioned for your comfort.
• An emery board or nail file - chipped or broken nails can snag your fabric and thread so it's good to have a nail file on hand just in case. Not essential, just handy.

It's time to discover the joy of Hand Embroidery!

Reserve your spot now and unlock the door to a world of artistic expression, relaxation, and newfound skills.
