Historic Embroidery at Maison Dieu
Maison Dieu, High Street, Dover, Kent, CT16 1DL
Workshop leaders will demonstrate the basic cross stitch technique, enabling participants to complete a small embroidery featuring selected motifs of Maison Dieu decoration. This would be for inexperienced embroiderers.
Anyone with more advanced skills would be at liberty to pursue their own stitching using cross stitch or black work from a repertoire of designs based on Maison Dieu motifs.
Materials would mostly be prepared in readiness for participants to use e.g. stretched Aïda fabric with a pre-drawn design, cut and separated threads etc. The intention would be to equip each participant with a full “kit” they could take away with them to complete.
Clients: adult (18+), although children could attend with a participant
Skill level: focussed on beginners, but all levels welcome.
Cost: free, but booking required
Materials: provided
