A Contemporary Stitch Sampler with Jennifer Clouston - 28-29th October 2026

Embroidery Reimagined: A Contemporary Stitch Sampler with Jennifer Clouston

Discover the endless creative possibilities of combining embroidery stitches with renowned textile artist, author, and embroidery tutor Jennifer Clouston.

Over this two-day workshop, Jennifer will share her signature approach to reimagining traditional embroidery stitches in fresh, contemporary ways. Suitable for embroiderers of all skill levels, the workshop encourages participants to move beyond set patterns and predetermined colour palettes, experimenting with stitch combinations to explore how texture, movement, and rhythm emerge through layering and playful discovery.

As you stitch, you'll develop your own contemporary sampler, a collection of techniques, ideas, and creative experiments to inspire and inform your future embroidery projects.

10am - 4pm

Please note: this is a 2 day class, please select the 28th when booking to book both days.
