EMBROIDERY WORKSHOP WITH ADRIANA TORRES >> Ticket link in profile

We are beyond delighted to be welcoming BuenosAires-based illustrator, designer and embroiderer Adriana Torres who is in the UK briefly for a series of embroidery workshops and has added some extra dates to her workshop tour to visit us in Bristol and share her beautiful world of embroidery with us.

In this workshop, for which no prior experience is necessary, participants will explore a new alphabet inspired by the flora and fauna of the forest.

During 5 hours you will learn many embroidery stitches, such as Colcha stitch, Towel stitch, Quaker stitch, Argentinian Knot, Argentinian square knot, and The Argentinian Picot, among others. These are brand new stitches that Adriana will share for the first time during this tour through Europe, America and Asia.
