It was an absolute delight to spend last night with a lovely bunch of makers! This was the second part of the Print & Stitch Workshop hosted by me and Kim @makespace.art

Last week, the group were shown how to design, carve, and print lino blocks onto fabric. This week we added colour and texture using embroidery.

Such beautiful work, lots of fun, and I think I may have converted a few people to the joy of stitching 💕

Keep your eyes peeled for more workshops link this coming up 👀
