English Paper Piecing - Patchwork Workshop

Part of the Women in Print public programme.

A beginner friendly introduction to a traditional patchwork style known as English paper piecing or EPP. You will gain a brief overview of the history of EPP and learn the basics of this relaxing hand stitching technique.

We will use the beautiful craft garden fabrics designed in a collaboration between William Morris Gallery and Liberty Fabrics. This collection took inspiration from the work of May Morris. All supplies will be provided and you will create one block during the class time.

Please book your ticket by donation (suggested £10 per person).
