Saturday September 18th - Jacobean Inspired Leaf with Anita Harrison
(If this course has to run online, it will run in 2 sessions on Saturday 18th and 25th September from 10:00 - 12:30)
This Introduction to Crewelwork ‘Jacobean Inspired Leaf’ has been designed for the embroiderer who wants to stitch a classic style piece using traditional materials, but isn’t quite ready to undertake the much larger project of a Jacobean Tree of Life.
The creation of this leaf began with a mono-coloured leaf pattern the Tutor found on a cushion cover at her mother’s house. The inspiration for this glorious mix of Autumnal colours popping against the dark grey originated from seeing the autumnal trees against a stormy sky on of her walks around the New Forest
Using traditional Jacobean materials, this motif is worked on cotton twill fabric using Appleton’s Crewel 2ply wool on an 8in embroidery hoop. This design offers the embroiderer the opportunity to perfect their skills stitching the basic Crewel Embroidery stitches of Stem Stitch, Chain Stitch, Fly Stitch and Seed Stitch , as well as learning variations of these stitches such as Detached Chain Stitch, Closed Fly Stitch, multi coloured Seed Stitch, Whipped Stem Stitch and Whipped Fly Stitch.
Cost of the kit will be £22 and P&P if online
