Stitching with Nature - A hand embroidery workshop hosted by Katerina Knight

In this workshop, Katerina will teach participants a series of hand embroidery techniques for how dried plant materials can be used as alternative textile embellishments.

Learning how to incorporate unusual materials such
as lavender seeds, cornflowers, dahlia petals, and rosemary together with traditional hand stitching, whether you are interested in textiles, gardening, meditation, or would just like to learn something new, this workshop promises to be soothing and sensorial.

All materials will be provided by Katerina, including a varied selection of dried plant materials, homegrown or sustainably foraged from her local surroundings in the Malvern hills.

No experience is necessary, you are encouraged to take each stitch slowly and learn at a pace that is comfortable for you.
