Join textile artist Stephanie Norwood for a special workshop where you can learn techniques in embroidery and applique, creating patches inspired by the collections of the Museum of Zoology. Develop your skills with fabrics and threads, from the basics to more advanced techniques. Be inspired on how to bring new life to your clothes and discover ways to use broken textiles to avoid them going to landfill. During this workshop you will learn how to applique fabric shapes, and basic and more advanced embroidery techniques, as well as explore the Museum of Zoology. You will create a practice patch to be included in a collaborative artwork in the Museum’s learning lab where it will be enjoyed by school children visiting the Museum, and another to take home with you. 

Workshop is 3 hours long, running from 1-4pm.     

Ticket price includes all materials and equipment needed, and refreshments during tea breaks in the workshop.     

This workshop is suitable for adults and young people over the age of 16.
