Evening Workshop: Embroidery Sew Along with Dionne Swift

Create a unique hand-stitched landscape over a printed design with contemporary textile artist Dionne Swift. 

You’ll work over a hand printed base, using one of Dionne’s most popular images showing a view overlooking a local Yorkshire Reservoir. Dionne will discuss how she developed this image as you put a personal touch to your artwork, building up a layered composition using different embroidery stitches. 

All materials will be provided, and you’ll leave with a beautiful artwork, ready framed in an embroidery hoop. The session is suitable for beginners and improvers.
