Stitched Bird Hedgerows

Take inspiration from the beautiful surroundings of Winterbourne, learn new skills, and meet likeminded creatives in this Stitched Bird Hedgerows workshop.

This one-day workshop will introduce you to accessible and effective textile techniques, layered together to create a work of art depicting a bird in its tiny world of undergrowth. Referencing the plant life found in the borders at Winterbourne we will ‘print’ the base fabric using papers of heat transfer inks and an iron upon which you can then foil additional decorative elements. Hand stitches will add texture and interest, whether you use the simple running stitch, or extend your skills by trying a new method with help from artist and tutor Claire Leggett. This course is suitable for anyone from a complete beginner to those with more experience.

Recommended for ages 18+. The workshop will take place in the Winterbourne Centre for Horticulture. For any queries about this workshop, please email our Learning Officer, Ellie Hill.

All courses, workshops and events at Winterbourne House & Garden are non-refundable unless cancelled by Winterbourne.
