Stumpwork is a 17th century technique that is a form of raised and padded hand embroidery. Most of us remember the beautiful English meadows with poppies, clover, thistles, dandelions, grasses, daisies, fritillary, cornflowers and buttercups in abundance. Add insects and birds and you have the perfect summertime scene. Work from the tutors pattern or one of your own. All abilities welcome.
Christmas is fast approaching, but there is still time to create some last minute gifts and decorations. In the morning we shall be creating a stunning tree decoration, whilst in the afternoon we will be making a funky napkin ring to adorn your festive table. This workshop is suitable for all abilities.
