Canvas Work Bookmark Workshop

Enjoy your book collection in style with your own hand-crafted canvas work bookmark.

  • Booking essential

Come and join other likeminded craft enthusiasts for a relaxing full day workshop in the Old School Village Hall. In this session you will be taught some decorative canvas work stitches using a variety of threads. The finished piece can be used as an attractive bookmark.

Don’t worry if you are new to canvas work (or needle work in general) as our expert makers will be on hand to guide you through the process.

All materials and equipment will be provided. However, you are welcome to bring your own sewing kit if you wish.

There will be an hour’s break for lunch. Tea and coffee are provided. It is recommended to bring your own lunch. There is a fridge, microwave and kettle for your use. Access to the Stables Café in the Belton Estate grounds is permitted, however it is a 5 to 10 minute walk from the venue.

Please make sure to arrive 10 minutes before the start of the session, to allow time to walk from the Belton Estate carpark to the Old School Village Hall.
