Woolen Freestyle Floral Stitch Cushions

With Lea-Anne Sheather

Saturday, 9th November

9am – 3pm

Ages 18+

All materials you need for the day will be provided

You will be guided in a variety of easy stitches to create floral and leaf designs. This will be a chance for you to be creative in your design and colour choices. It will be a small group, which means you will be given plenty of individual support. You will leave the workshop with the skills to complete this project on your own.

We will stop at midday for a lunch break. You have the option of bringing your own lunch or there is a café in the Village.
