Workshop at the Royal Society of Sculptors
Introduction to flowers on tulle embroidery, make a 6” moon hoop design.
30th May 6.30pm - 8.30pm
Dora House, 108 Old Brompton Road
London, SW7 3RA
Learn the basics of flowers-on-tulle embroidery in this three-hour workshop and make your own “moon hoop” – a moon-shaped floral design in a 6” wooden embroidery hoop. It makes a wonderful present as a wall hanging, or even a wedding ring holder.
You’ll learn how to stretch and secure the tulle fabric in the embroidery hoop, prepare the stems of the dried flowers, and methods of attaching flowers to the fabric.
All tools and materials will be provided including a large selection of suitable dried flowers, in a summer inspired colour palette of greens, pinks, yellow, reds and whites, so you can make your design unique to you. (The flower selection may vary slightly from those shown in the images depending on availability at the time).
Olga will guide you on constructing natural, organic-looking branch shapes and distributing the various flowers to achieve a pleasing, balanced aesthetic. You will get a sturdy box in which to transport your design safely home, and advice on options for framing and display. No prior stitching or embroidery knowledge needed.
(Please note the workshop requires a minimum number of participants. In the event the workshop cannot go ahead, two weeks notice and full refunds will be given).
