Pauline Verrinder Workshop

Grantham Embroiderers’ Guild

Workshop: Thursday 13th November, 2014

Times: 10am – 4pm

Tutor: Pauline Verrinder 

                                                      ‘THE FLIPPANT STITCH’

The workshop will be spent, looking at hand stitchery, in a light hearted and irreverent way.

Using fabric, conventional and unlikely threads, and surface fabric decoration or application,

we will be attempting to s-t-r-e-t-c-h our perceived knowledge hand embroidery.

This is a workshop suitable for both the beginner and the experienced - just come with an

open mind and a willingness to experiment and extend the boundaries with like minded

people.
