Introduction to Hand Embroidery workshop

Join us for an Introduction to Hand Embroidery Evening Workshop with Elnaz as part of our new Thursday Taster evenings!

You will be guided through a variety of beautiful hand embroidery techniques and stitches using an array of different coloured threads to create your own unique piece of thread art.

All the stitches you learn you can apply to any cloth, item of clothing or accessory so you can carry on stitching beyond the workshop.

Embroidery is also a great way to keep calm and reduce stress levels so come and enjoy the meditative wonders of the process of embroidery here at our lovely textile studio.

All materials are included and you will take away your finished Embroidered Piece.

This workshop is suitable for complete beginners or those wanting to refresh their skills.

Hot drinks and biscuits are included.

To make our Thursday taster evenings as accessable as possible, we have made the tickets as low cost as we can without affecting the quaility of the workshop. If you would really like to attend this workshop but feel you cannot afford the ticket price please contact jen@stitch-up.org.uk as we sometimes have hardship bursary places available.

Stitch-Up CIC is a social enterprise and any profits made are reinvested straight back into delivering our creative community projects supporting vulnerable and disadvantaged people in Leeds to learn new skills and improve wellbeing.

We will also be using this time to gain feedback from participants about what creative activities they would like to see going forward at Meanwood Community Centre so all feedback is greatly appreciated.

There is ample parking available at the Community Centre Car Park. If you cannot fit in the Car Park, please park on the main part of Stainbeck Avenue, with consideration to the residents please do not park in the cul-de-sac.

The Stitch-Up Studio is to the rear of the Community Centre. Once you arrive in reception please follow the signs for Stitch-Up.

You can follow us on Instagram @stitch_up or Facebook on STITCHUPLEEDS to keep up to date with what we are up to or visit our website stitch-up.org.uk.
