Join embroidery artist Becky Edmunds and discover the beauty of Blackwork embroidery. Blackwork is a striking form of counted-thread embroidery, traditionally worked in black thread on white fabric, but it can also be stitched in colour or with metallic threads.
In this playful workshop, you will learn how to read and follow Blackwork patterns and how to work with evenweave fabric and embroidery threads. You will create a small Blackwork sampler and gain the skills to continue stitching confidently on your own. It’s not as complicated as it looks!
All materials provided. Just bring your curiosity and a steady hand!
