Your classes for 2021
Sadly most of the classes planned for last year had to be cancelled, however we are trying to make sure that the ones run by local tutors can be re-scheduled for this year.
Contact Jenny Bakos 0427 819 713 for any more details or to sign up.
The first with a visiting tutor is a Canvaswork one
Anne Marie Anderson Dragonflies in the Garden Tuesday + Wednesday March 30 & 31 Cost $90 Payment Due March 8th(plus kit $55 paid at class to tutor)
This design is an experiment in working with canvaswork embroidery through a dual layer of fabric. For this version, 24-count Congress canvas is the base with hand dyed silk mesh laid over the top. The effect is beautiful with the gauze disguising the rigid grid appearance of the canvas. There is a choice of colourways. Beginners can work the piece without the overlay. The completed square measures approximately 13cm x 13cm

Pingback: The Year moves on | Embroidery Geelong
Heya. I’m looking for a beginners course on embroidery in Geelong-either December or the new year. I have basic knitting skills & cross stitch, but no embroidery experience. If you could advise of any suitable classes, dates/days and prices that would be much appreciated.

Hi Melanie
Not sure if you received a reply as most replies are via email.
Check our Sit and Sew meetings for times and place 2nd Monday of each month- we have materials there for new beginners. I suggest this is your best option for starting out. Our classes list on the classes page also gives details of classes that will be run in 2020. You can download this list. It will be added to as classes are added. We look forward to seeing you at a meeting Cheers Gillian
