Embroidery Basics - Taster Workshop

27 May 26 — 27 May 26
Workshop
Venue: 2 Carriage Way, Deptford Market Yard
In this relaxed and beginner-friendly workshop, guests will be introduced to the fundamentals of hand embroidery using an embroidery hoop.

Designed for complete beginners (or anyone wanting a refresher), this session moves at a gentle pace, with clear, step-by-step guidance throughout.

Participants will learn a selection of simple yet versatile stitches, gaining confidence as they explore how each stitch can be used creatively in their own future projects. Stitches covered include:

Running stitch

Back stitch

Split stitch

Chain stitch

French knots

Blanket stitch

Feather stitch

Satin stitch

This workshop is about slowing down, enjoying the process, and building practical skills in a supportive environment. By the end of the session, guests will leave with a solid foundation in embroidery, as well as their embroidery hoop and needle to continue stitching at home.
