Whitework biscornu class

In a few weekends’ time (28-29th September) I will be teaching a new project at A Stitch in Time in Hobart. I teach in Hobart once a year, each time doing something different. So far I have taught Mountmellick embroidery and Portuguese Whitework. I love teaching down there, as the students are always so lovely (and accomplished!) and it is a gorgeous shop. Usually we get students coming from all over Tasmania, because Tasmania really isn’t a very large place!

This year’s class uses a highly textured counted whitework technique to make a pretty biscornu. It is worked on 28 count linen, with pearl cotton. The embroidery will be started in class, but finished in the student’s own time.

The counted whitework and the buttonholed lace edging will be taught in class, and there will be an explanation of the construction of the biscornu.

It would be advantageous for students to have experience with counted embroidery for this class, though the technique itself will be new to all students.

The class still has spaces available, so if you would like to be one of the first in Australia to learn this technique, please contact Mary-Anne at A Stitch in Time. Phone: (03) 6223 3871. A kit is supplied, so you will have no preparation prior to the class, and just need to turn up! I’d love you to join us.
