Kathleen Murphy


A Winter Tale Teacup

26th & 27th November 2022

10.00am – 4.30pm

What to bring:

  • A basic sewing kit, to include a selection of hand sewing needles, embroidery scissors and a selection of thread.

  • Although tea cups will be available, you may prefer to bring your own treasured teacup to use. Cups which have a narrower base and broader lip work best.

A weekend of stitching small stories!

During this hand stitch workshop you will make a tiny, 3D scene on top of a vintage teacup. Using felt, fabric scraps and embroidery you will create a landscape with trees, plant life and a moveable character to populate your teacup world.
