September with Alex Makin (ONLINE)

TIMINGS: The class will run via Zoom on:

Friday 30th September from 14:30 to 17:00 (British Summer Time)

Friday 7th October from 14:30 to 17:00 (British Summer Time)

Alex has created a unique design for us based on this archaeological find from Winchester

Not only is the design medieval but the kit has been put together using materials and stitches that would have been familiar to needleworkers of the period.

 

It uses handwoven linen, 5 different coloured hand and naturally dyed wool threads, a handmade brass needle based on archaeological finds, and 5 stitches used in early medieval wool work - stem, satin, chain, laid and couched and loop.

You will need a 6 inch hoop, which is best worked in a stand but could be worked in hand, and a tape measure. The design is about 8cms wide so you may require a magnifier.

 

The cost of the kit will be £90 including UK P&P.  Please book your place by Friday 23rd September, I will then send your details to Alex for her to arrange payment and shipping. Please contact me if you are outside the UK and wish to order since postage will be more expensive and it will need to be sent sooner.
