Past Class- Stitch a Still Life
Create your own A4 size Still Life with a vase or a bowl containing three dimensional flowers, fruit and /or leaves.
Linen fabric will be available in a range of colours for you to create your own background textured with simple stitches.
A bowl or vase for your flowers and fruit will be appliqued.
Some threads and fabrics will be provided but if you have something special you would like to incorporate into the Still Life you are welcome to bring it along and we can discuss how to best use it. For example, the bowl for the cherries is from an old, embroidered doily and the cherries are red velvet. A piece of lace may look good on the table.
You may not finish completely, but you will have been taught and practised each step.
Advice and options for finishing your piece of work for display will be given.
