Evening Workshop: Punch Needle Embroidery

Thu 12 March 2026 , 6pm-8:30pm

Millennium Gallery

Enjoy a special evening workshop creating a beautiful floral inspired embroidered artwork to hang in your home. 

 

In this hands-on session, Artist Amber Hessell will guide you in the basics of punch needle embroidery to create your own design in an embroidery hoop, ready to be displayed. You will pick from five different templates and a multitude of colourful threads to produce your bespoke piece. Come along and learn a new craft, have fun with yarn in a relaxing environment, and make a stunning wall hanging to take home.  

 

Amber Hessell runs Tuftingaround. She loves all things colour and texture and most importantly creating and teaching rug tufting and punch needle. Amber graduated from Huddersfield university in 2022 where she studied textiles and specialised in rug tufting. She has a little home studio in Sheffield and stocks some lovely independent shops with her own creations.
