This is a simple yet versatile technique, useful for mending and prolonging the life of your favourite garments!

Do not worry if you are new to embroidery, this workshop is open to people of all abilities. All materials and equipment will be provided; however, participants are very welcome to bring their own sewing kit if they wish. It is recommended to bring a notebook and pen to take notes. There will be an hour-long break for lunch. Tea and coffee are provided. It is recommended to bring your own lunch.
