In this workshop, participants explore hand embroidery, blending traditional techniques with personal expression. Open to all skill levels, it teaches the 'how' of stitching and the deeper 'why', celebrating the mindful slowness, meditative rhythms, and the tactile joy of creating by hand. You will experiment with threads, scales, and spacing to create textures, patterns, and intricate details to develop your own expressive style. The workshop consists of two independent 5-hour sessions, which can be taken in any order. It is held at Richard McVetis' studio, offering a rare chance to learn directly from the artist, share ideas with fellow makers, and enjoy the mindful pleasure of making. The cost for one session is 195 GBP, and two sessions is 300 GBP per person. Please book the workshop in advance by contacting Richard.
