Collection: The Essence of the Stitch Workshop

Come join me at Atelier Gwendolyne for an introduction to hand embroidery, or what I like to call needlework.

Over two Sunday afternoons, I’ll teach and guide you in shaping the stitch. We’ll take time to explore how each stitch is formed and how its shape and placement bring character to your work. The heart of this course is learning to work with needle and thread, building confidence one stitch at a time.

Working on small, hand-dyed cotton/linen canvases, you’ll begin to develop your own stitch work, with room to explore linen appliqué and optional lino block printing. These are possibilities for your artwork, while needlework remains our focus.

This introductory course welcomes beginners. Bring an idea, an inspiration, or simply your curiosity. All needlework materials and tools are provided, and our small group of three allows plenty of individual guidance.

Sunday November 22th and  29th 
Noon to 5 p.m. each day
$160 CAD per person for both afternoons
Limited to three participants

Please bring your own 5 × 7-inch frame to complete the course. The frame is not included in the workshop price.
