Past Class -Strawberry Fields Forever Biscornu
A celebration of a strawberry patch with large juicy strawberries and the white flowers promising more to come. A Biscornu is a small ornamental pincushion. It has 8 sides and is usually secured in the centre of the top and the bottom to give a small depression. The work itself comes from the French, meaning something that has an irregular form with projections.
You can stitch one panel, or if you complete the second panel, we will be joining them in the second class to form the biscornu. Using the grid of the canvas and a clear chart will give you confidence to branch out from cross stitch.
For beginner embroiderers confident in threading a needle
The class price will include a colour charted pattern and detailed stitching instructions. If you already have threads and canvas that you would like to use, a full requirement list with options will be sent out. A full kit of painted canvas, needle and strand yarn will be available at the class of $36.
2 x 3 hour sessions
