- Katherine Mansfield House & Garden, 25 Tinakori Road, Thorndon, Wellington, 6011, New Zealand
If you have visited the Short Threads exhibition and want to try your hand at surface embroidery with a touch of metal, come and spend a few hours with freelance embroiderer Jo Dixey (Instagram: @dixeysoul) and stitch this tiny patch. Using just 2 stitches you’ll create an abstract piece of embroidery in your own choice of colours which can be turned into a brooch or framed as a tiny artwork.
Newcomers (including absolute beginners) and experienced stitchers welcome. Morning tea and all materials provided.
Please note, this workshop will take place upstairs. Information about accessibility can be found on this page of our website.
