Service Description
Stitched & Sparkling: Exploring Texture and Technique A Textile Workshop with Dorothy Ronaldson. Date: Thursday 24th April 2025 Time: 10:00 AM – 3:00 PM This workshop will enable you to create a richly textured composition.

Along the way, you’ll master a variety of stitches and techniques, including couching, knotted stitches, velvet stitch, blanket stitch, satin stitch, pekinese stitch, whipped stitches, needle weaving, gathering, knitting, and crochet. Bead attachment methods, including the use of wire, will also be covered, along with ideas for mounting and framing your finished piece.
