Learn the retro craft of Bargello to create fabulous festive decorations to adorn your Christmas tree.
No experience of crafting or embroidery needed, this is the perfect class for a nervous or novice crafter. Create decorations for your own tree or give them as a unique gift!
This perfect stash-busting craft uses yarn and a mesh frame to create sturdy embroidered decorations. Tutor Bonita will show you the stitch process and how to plan out your design. Then it’s up to you to let your creative juices flow with Bonita on hand should you need any guidance.
This three-hour workshop is ideal for anyone wanting to try a new textile craft, with an interest in embroidery, and wants to find a mindful and relaxing craft.
Take away the materials to make another at home!
Tutor Bonita Keay is a passionate crafter and always says making is part of who she is! She started her handmade business journey in 2007 when her children were small and now sells regularly at craft fairs (including our Attenborough Arts Centre fairs!). Bonita is also an experienced tutor, sharing her knowledge, skills and passion with adults and young people, inspiring creativity and wellbeing wherever she goes. She sources all materials ethically and sustainably, supporting other small businesses where possible.
Our café will be open during your visit or you are welcome to bring your own refreshments.
All materials are provided.
