Design and create a beautiful, hand-embroidered brooch using a selection of recycled materials in this hands-on workshop.

Explore simple embroidery and embellishment techniques to stitch your own colourful piece of textile jewellery, using combinations of recycled and traditional textile materials. In the session, artist Jessica Grady will teach you her colourful and contemporary methods for creating imaginative 3D designs. You’ll learn a range of techniques, including layered and folded sequins, tufted embroidery and vertical beading, and leave the workshop with your very own unique piece of art to wear.
This workshop is suited to all abilities, all materials provided. The workshop is limited to 12 participants so you get plenty of support and the benefit of Jessica’s expertise. We recommend booking early to avoid disappointment.
