About this Event

During the workshop you will have the option of creating a patch which you can then sew on to something else or keep as an artwork in its own right. Alternatively, you can bring something of your own which you would like to add some embroidery or a visible mend to! If you do plan on bringing a garment, please make sure that the material is not too tough, and not too stretchy. Light denim, linen, a non-stretchy cotton, or canvas are all a good bet. If you’re unsure, you're welcome to get in touch prior to the workshop, or just bring in a couple of options.


It’s not mandatory, but we encourage you to have a wee think about some design ideas prior to coming along that would be great! Feel free to bring along drawings, images or text to work from. As we are limited to the 2 hour time of the workshop, it's best to keep things relatively simple. Think: one or two colours, bold outlines, line drawings, words, abstract shapes, maybe even just some wee dots, dashes or crosses. You can of course continue working on your pieces at home, if you don't finish them on the night.


The workshop will be taught by Faith Eliott (they/them) - artist, illustrator, musician and co-founder of OK Pal Records. They also deliver veg boxes for Locavore, so you may recognise them if you get a delivery!



Take a look at Faith's pinterest board for inspiration and to give you an idea or what’s possible with embroidery -

All tools, embroidery thread and fabric for patching will be provided, but please feel free to bring your own if you have a specific idea for your mend.
