Gold work snail embroidery with Royal School of Needlework trained Jessica Aldred at The Little Craft House, Saltaire, West Yorkshire.

Description

Meet 'Neil' the snail! This adorable little critter likes to take life slowly, and so do we!
Learn the basics of goldwork hand embroidery; covering simple padding techniques, couching and cutwork. All instructions and materials will be provided and are included in the cost of the class. This workshop is split across two Saturdays so you can really take your time and experience the calming and therapeutic benefits of hand embroidery. This also means you can work on your project between classes although Neil (and Jessica) won't mind if you don't. Suitable for beginners and those who are new to goldwork embroidery.
