Using pressed flowers and plant fibres such as bamboo, you’ll create a miniature landscape composition within an embroidery hoop. You’ll explore arranging natural materials to build texture and depth before embellishing your piece with hand embroidery, adding detail, colour and personal touches to bring your artwork to life. This relaxed, hands-on workshop is suitable for beginners as well as those with some creative experience, and you’ll leave with a finished textile art hoop to take home and enjoy.
