I've been working with Stitchtopia, part of the Arena Travel group, on this embroidery focussed holiday. During the weekend we'll start with design - a colour drawing, a shaded drawing, a stitch direction and an order of work. Moving on we will work on several samples before stitching the actual beetle. You will leave the class with an understanding of goldwork and ready to tackle your own projects. Overall it will be a relaxing fun weekend creating a beautiful piece and learning the key techniques.
