This workshop is held in the Visitor Centre which is fully wheelchair accessible with no stairs into the building and wide doorways.

Join our in-house seamstress at the Ancient High House for another delve into Blackwork embroidery. This time, across two workshops, you will use stitches and patterns, learnt in the introductory sessions, to create a design of your choice which upon completion can be framed in a black frame creating a bold piece of art for your home. This is suitable for those with experience wanting to refresh their memory or learn different stitches and would be perfect as a follow on to the ‘Introduction to Blackwork Workshops’ held in June and July. It is great for someone wanting to socialise as well as learn a variety of techniques. All materials, professional guidance and refreshments will be provided.

All payments must me made upon booking. Please note: no refunds can be given for a cancellation within 7 days of the workshop.
