Heritage Needlecraft Workshop Arts and Crafts Tapestry

Heritage Needlecraft Workshop Arts and Crafts Tapestry

Look at the tradition of tapestry in the Arts and Crafts movement and the designs of William Morris. Work on a bird or flower motif using tent stitch and cross-stitch and perhaps make a start on a larger piece to work on as the nights begin to draw in.

Taught by textile artist Helen Barnes.

Itinerary

'Travel through time and learn a new skill along the way'

Our hands-on Heritage Workshops teach transferable skills and the histories behind them in a full day (6 hrs) programme.

Topics range from Viking motif appliqué to '70s macramé, with Arts & Crafts tapestry, Regency embroidery, Liberty Florals, Durham quilting and more in-between.

The histories have a uniquely British flavour, with many rooted in Yorkshire and the North East. The skills are timeless: knitting, tapestry-work, quilting, cross stitch, appliqué, macramé, embroidery and beading.

We also have shorter Saturday Skills Classes to learn new skills or develop existing ones.
