The Evening Workshop

Your tutor, Sarah, is looking forward to meeting you and says: “ Are you looking for a new relaxing craft … do you like colouring in? Well, why not try colouring in with yarn! With Punch Needle Embroidery you can do just that.  This craft is also perfect for the yarn collector who needs to use up all those left over balls off yarn, so it means less waste too.

I will take you through the process from choosing the right materials and equipment, to making your first punch needle stitch.  You can choose from a selection of pre-drawn designs, all with an autumnal theme, or, if you are feeling extra creative, you can draw your own … the choice is yours.
All materials and equipment are provided as well as a printed how to guide to take away with you.”

What to bring?

Anticipation to enjoy the whole experience!

Specific to this workshop:

  • Any of your left-over yarn that you’d like to encorporate into your autumnal theme.
  • Please feel free to bring a small, easy to eat snack with you, if you are going to miss having an evening meal. We can provide you with a plate.
  • Reading glasses if you need them.

What skills are needed?

No experience is necessary. This is a gentle, easy craft, needing both hands, one to hold the hoop and the other to place the needle in position.

What are the timings?

This is a relaxed evening running from 5pm to 8pm.

Our purple front door will be open from 4.30pm so we can welcome you in, you can get to meet Sarah and your fellow crafters and grab a cuppa before you start.

How many places are available?

To ensure the quality of your personal experience, the group size is limited to 10.

What is the cost?

£35 + 79p card fee. This includes all the materials needed to make your design, and refreshments during the evening. We will be providing drinks and home-made biscuits.
