MEDIEVAL WOMEN EMBROIDERY WORKSHOP COURSE

Three one-day practical sessions  on Saturdays in the Learning Studio over four months

Please note this course of three workshops is now FULLY BOOKED

There is a repeat course on Sundays available > 

With Tanya Bentham, embroiderer and author

Women made change in the medieval world, from the religious visions of Hildegard of Bingen, the pioneering feminism of Christine De Pisan, or the piracy of Jean de Clisson. There have always been women who seized their own power and made change in their world.
 

Medieval-style embroidery of Hlldegard of Bingen by Tanya Bentham

 
Using a choice of medieval embroidery techniques ranging from laid and couched work (Bayeux stitch) to opus anglicanum, and depending on your skill level, produce a piece of embroidery based on one of these pioneering women.
 

Medieval-style embroidery of the 'patron saint of worm and flea treatments' by Tanya Bentham!

 
These three one-day workshops over the course of four months give you time to work on the elements of your embroidery in between sessions. But you aren't expected to complete your embroidery project by the end of the course.

All materials will be provided.

This is part of our Change Makers season of events.
