Join previous artist resident Grace Gatley for an introduction to goldwork embroidery, where you’ll learn the art of this centuries-old heritage technique. Using traditional materials like pearl purl, smooth purl, and bright check, you will create a sparkling motif inspired by the stained glass windows of Cheltenham Minster, and learn how to transform your work into a wearable piece of art or heirloom decoration for your home.
Suitable for all skill levels, we’ll embroider for two hours with a 30-minute tea break in between. You will be able to work at your own pace with plenty of hands-on support, leaving with a beautiful finished piece, or the new skills, knowledge, and materials to complete your piece at home.
FREE to attend but booking is essential as places are limited. Email oliver.tipper@cheltenhamtrust.org.uk
