Botanical Embroidery at The Craft Parlour

This workshop with Sheri Vegas will have you in all kinds of good stitches. Pull up a chair, we'll put the kettle on, and join us for a lazy morning learning the timeless craft of embroidery. Who doesn't love a craft hobby where you can pop on some mindless viewing and get lost in an intricate embroidery pattern.

You will learn how to make your own botanical lettering design with embroidery hoops while using real dried flowers and a step by step demonstrations on how to create your own custom floral artwork. This workshop will cover materials and where to source them from, how to prepare and work with an embroidery hoop, types of flowers to use, the method of attaching the flowers, choosing your colour palette, pattern tips and how to achieve balance to your design.

Your botanical artwork will look stunning in any home or create one as the perfect personalised gift.
