Workshop: A Little Strip of Leaves, with Amanda Clayton

Learn or revisit hand embroidery techniques such as inlay, cutwork, applique, layering, needle darning and many more, that are now very relevant to current embroidery and quilting methods.

You will be working them in neutral cloth and thread, producing a sampler strip, which will introduce you to qualities such as transparency that may be new but potentially exciting. Using leaves as a design shape, the workshop will give you the confidence to develop your own visual language as you transfer both techniques and design skills to colour and scale when you return home.
