Freehand Machine Embroidery Workshops

Come learn this wonderfully versatile and enjoyable craft. I am teaching in various parts of the country, so check out the latest courses and book online.

 

I also teach 1:1 in London and the South East in the comfort of your own home on your own sewing machine. 

I am a self taught freehand machine embroiderer and will teach you my own tried and tested methods.

 

My emphasis will be on your artistic and creative expression, rather than a very technical how to. I will teach you the basic information on how to practise the craft. Then, after that, the only limit is your imagination...

 

I should also mention, it is, seriously addictive...

Looking for enthusiastic encouragement? Individual coaxing out of your inner creative voice? Then look no further.

...I thought the workshop was brilliant.  It was well structured to build up the necessary skills to make the expressive eye.  I also think that you are a brilliant and talented teacher. You gave positive thoughtful praise and then knew how to move each of us on.  I left feeling positive about what I had achieved and even more so since I felt challenged...                                    Ruth, July 2018

Wow , what can  I say other than thank you for giving me such wonderful feedback on my beginner  creations .

 

It is thank to your teaching style , passion and the permission to try anything which has so inspired me.

 

Denman at Home, Anne C. November 2020

Just wanted to say a huge thank you for a BRILLIANT workshop today - your infectious enthusiasm and WONDERFUL creativity was just a delight!

I had such a great day at the workshop. The location was fab, the space & facilities were brilliant (a machine each was such a luxury, have had to queue before in other workshops, which is ok but a bit frustrating) - and you were an inspirational teacher with boundless enthusiasm, good energy and encouragement for us all.

Your presentation style is excellent and so jolly - makes a big difference!! Gill A.

Ever wanted to use your craft skills to create a work of art that pays homage to that very special or much admired building in your life? If so, then this is the workshop for you! 

Join Artist Stacey Chapman for this one day course where we explore the craft of freehand machine embroidery where you will learn all of the basics plus how to transfer a design from a photo, find the important 'lines' in your reference photograph, make your own pattern that depicts your chosen building, to cut out and appliqué. You will be encouraged to explore obvious and maybe not so obvious choices of fabric/textures to portray your subject. Throughout the day you will be encouraged to be playful and curious about how you can use as much mark making difference in your freehand stitching to create a completely personal and bespoke artwork. All the while you will be building your confidence in the skills of translating a reference picture into a design, freehand machine embroidery and appliqué. The aim of the course is for you to return home with your beautiful, bespoke piece that is an individual as you are, for you to have more confidence in making design decisions and the aforementioned craft skills, due to learning in a nurturing, fun and creative environment.

Janome Sewing Machines and all materials are provided at our lux venue, with stunning, unobstructed sea views of Margate Main Sands.
