The last distance class of 2019 is a fine whitework design with an Art Nouveau flare.
The class will run for 8 weeks and this design will cover a mixture of whitework techniques including pulled work, drawn thread work, Broderie Anglaise and Richelieu along with an assortment of surface stitches; predominantly trailing and satin stitches.
This class starts at the end of September with kits being sent out from Monday 16th September. The kits will contain white kingston linen, stranded cottons, cotton a broder, beads and sequins with a tissue transfer.
Summer Embroidery Retreat
August 2019 will see Jen’s stitching retreat return to the Springhead Trust site in the heart of the Dorset countryside yet again. As well as a week of embroidery tuition with a choice of projects to choose from, there will be unrestricted access to the beautiful private gardens.
The Summer School will be running from Monday 5th to Friday 9th August 2019.
This coming year we will have access to a new suite of rooms, including new bedrooms and a new, more relaxed stitching room. These are allocated on a first come basis.
The residential school costs £475 with a deposit of £100 due at the time of booking. The outstanding balance is due 12 weeks before the summer school starts. Breakfast and lunch are included in the cost. The local tea room offers cooked breakfast and there are also many places locally for an evening meal. However there is also a large, well appointed kitchen should you wish to cook yourself. Any materials and kits are charged at the end of the week.
