Founded by Lynn Hulse (textile historian) and Nicola Jarvis (designer), Ornamental Embroidery specialises in the teaching and designing of historic hand stitch, and runs workshops in museums, art galleries and historic houses.

About

Ornamental Embroidery will lead a two-day workshop exploring crewel work techniques to create an embroidered panel inspired by the ‘Welbeck Harebells roundel’: the Arts and Crafts relief plasterwork found in Welbeck Abbey’s Print Corridor, designed by Victorian architects John Dando Sedding and Henry Wilson. A guided tour of Welbeck Abbey’s State Rooms is included within this workshop.

Participants will use a range of crewel embroidery stitches, including long and short stitch, satin stitch variations, stem stitch, twisted chain stitch, couching and various knot stitches with fine wools and silks to work the roundel on a linen ground.
