In the course you will learn how to translate your original design into your own picture of stitches, jewellery item or embroidery piece. Students will be guided throughout the course on all aspects of creating a design, placing imagery, incorporating a background and a fore ground into your design, and how to finish and present your work to its full and deserved potential.
The evening class is designed for the novice or the more confident stitcher who wishes to explore the numerous techniques and textures created by threads and stitch, not to mention the delight of sewing and working with colour to create pictorial machine embroideries.
