'Pictorial Machine Embroidery'
with Linda Miller.
Venue - Oxford School, Glanville Road, Oxford OX4 2AU.

Saturday/Sunday 20/21st March

Come along and join me and a group of like minded stitchers and spend the weekend making your very own picture in stitches. Bring along a drawing, picture or a photograph that inspires you. Using a sumptuous array of threads in a variety of colours and thickness and working with your own sewing machine, you will learn how to translate your design into your very own picture, jewellery item or embroidery piece. Students will be guided through all aspects of creating a design, placing imagery, incorporating background and foreground into your design and how to finish and present your work to its full and deserved potential.
The workshop is suitable for the novice and more confident stitcher who wants to explore the numerous techniques and textures created by threads and stitch, not to mention the delight of sewing and working with colour.
