Description

This course is part of Dillington Discoveries Summer week.

Stumpwork is a three-dimensional embroidery technique which became very popular in the 16th and 17th centuries and was used on book bindings, mirrors, pictorial embroideries and most famously caskets. We will take inspiration from historical examples, looking at design, history and the use of stitches.

During the week you will be able to work on your own piece of embroidery and include a variety of hand stitches, raised work techniques and needlelace.

Course runs from Dinner on Sunday to Lunch on Friday.
