Embroider a local icon with Lindsay Stitches
Join Lindsay Stitches to turn a local Walyalup/Fremantle or Boorloo/Perth icon into a stitched art piece.
This could featue local architecture, a place of note or even your own home.
In this workshop you'll first sketch your design, create a sampler of different stitch techniques and start on a project of your own. This could be an idea that you've already pre-prepared or something you can concept along with Lindsay during the session.
If you are feeling undecided, Lindsay will have pre-prepared a number of templates of her favourite local landmarks.
This workshop is to create an art piece, however you are welcome to bring along a t-shirt, jacket, tote bag or item of your choice to embroider onto. If you would like to bring your own item to work with, please ensure it's a sturdy fabric like denim or linen, anything with stretch is not for beginners.
Each participant will receive an embroidery kit including everything you need to keep going with your new hobby at home.
All tools, materials and light morning tea will be provided. There are no previous skills required, simply bring your authentic self.
