Creative Seashell Stitchscapes

Find a permanent home for the shells you pick up from the shoreline and stow in your pocket or catch holiday memories you can display on the wall with this creative seashell workshop. If you love hand embroidery, creating textures with fabrics and embellishments and playing with stitches then this is the class for you. It is suitable for complete beginners to advanced stitchers.

In the workshop you will be shown how to layer fabrics to create a coastal inspired background over which to stitch your shells, a variety of trimmings and embroidery stitches. The stitches themselves will range from simple straight stitches to more complicated drizzle stitches and everything in-between. A freestyle way of looking at hand embroidery, there is no right-or-wrong and you can be as creative as you feel! Each hoop will be personal and unique and could be a seaside sunset, beachy cliff face or a mysterious rockpool.

At the end of the class you will be well into creating your hoop although may not have finished. The handout provided and personalised tuition during the day will provide you with the necessary tools and information to complete the hoop at your leisure after the class has finished.
