Time to get Stitching!

Join textile artist Sawi Thorpe for a relaxed and inspiring 3-hour workshop exploring the timeless craft of hand embroidery.

Whether you're a total beginner or looking to refine your stitches, you'll learn foundational techniques, tips for working with colour and texture, and how to create beautiful designs - inspired by nature - by hand.
All materials are provided - come along to our November workshop (perfect inspiration for Christmas gifts) or cosy up at the Kiosk next June.
Just bring your curiosity and love for making!
