Discover your Creativity
Learn new skills and make new friends as you become absorbed and fascinated by the ancient art of narrative embroidery.
Our workshops are held at the Quaker Tapestry centre in Kendal and are tutored by Bridget Guest and Carole Butcher who have a wealth of experience both in embroidery and in the Quaker Tapestry. Bridget has been involved with the project since 1994 and is more than happy to share the secrets of the stitches!
2-day Foundation or Refresher Course
Equally fitting for both the absolute beginner and those who wish to improve their skills. Come along to our relaxed and friendly workshop and be inspired by the Quaker Tapestry as you learn the stitches and techniques. 2012 Workshop dates.
