Join textile artist Christine Leech for a creative, hands-on workshop in a relaxed and welcoming setting. You will explore techniques using embroidery, beadwork, decorative fringing, and a variety of embellishments to design a one-of-a-kind piece influenced by the likes of Dalí and Elsa Schiaparelli. After choosing your pupil colour, Christine will guide you through simple techniques to build the eye shape, before you develop your design with rich textures and details.

With step-by-step support throughout, you’ll transform your ideas into a striking finished piece to wear as a brooch or use as a patch.
