About This Class:
Embroidery has come a long way since Jane Austin’s heroines would sit and sew in the drawing room – we’ve brought the pastime back with our own modern take on the original. Our beginners embroidery class gives you all the basic techniques you will need to continue this therapeutic craft at home.
This online beginners embroidery workshop will teach you five popular stitches including back stitch, satin stitch, straight stitch and the French knot. You’ll be able to choose a fun design (or a drawing of your own) to embroider yourself using all the new skills you have learnt.
Your embroidery design can stay in the hoop and you can hang it on the wall for show! Once you’ve mastered the skill, you can try napkins, sheets, pillowcases… In fact, there won’t be a soft furnishing in your house left unadorned!
When the class is over you will also receive a recording of the class so you can rewatch whenever you like!

About This Class:
Do you remember those latch hook rug kits you may have created as a child? It was a craft that was commonly used to make rugs, cushions and other soft furnishings (years ago), it's similar to weaving but its not weaving and its taking over people's Pinterest boards! We've added our contemporary spin to it and teaching you how to create a wall hanging with these craft skills!
During this online session you'll learn all about the tools and materials needed as well as how to latch hook and how different yarns can create different effects and movement to your one of a kind wall hanging. The possibilities are endless.
This relaxing workshop is perfect for those who just fancy trying latch hook and creating something colourful for their home, as well as those who may want to experiment with different textures, colours and patterns. During the session we'll discuss how to transfer a design (we will give you a design if you prefer so no need to prepare anything) onto the canvas as well as how to achieve different textures just using yarn. The workshop will end with a demonstration on how to attach a wooden rod to your wall hanging and how to protect the edges from fraying. A full recording will be sent everyone a few hours after the workshop.
