In this second session of the From Nature's Detail series, we return to the embroidery begun in Part 1 and keep building. With your painted background and first stitches already in place, this session is about deepening the work—introducing new stitches to expand your stitch vocabulary and exploring the addition of beads and fabric pieces to create new layers of texture and a richer sense of dimension. We'll look at how these elements can echo the natural detail that inspired your original design, adding depth and surface interest that thread alone can't always achieve.
There will also be space to slow down and really look at what your piece needs—to make considered decisions about where to stitch next, what to add, and when to leave well enough alone. That kind of quiet discernment is part of the practice too.
This session is open to those who attended Part 1. If you're joining us for the first time, please get in touch to check suitability before booking. This workshop is designed to feel like a creative pause—slow, soothing, exploratory, and grounding. Come back to the work, and see what it's becoming.
What's Included:
  • Continued use of your hoop and work in progress from Part 1
  • Additional threads, beads, and fabric pieces for embellishment
  • Guidance on new stitches and layering techniques
  • All tools needed for the session
You'll Leave With:
  • A significantly developed abstract embroidery—closer to completion, or complete
  • An expanded stitch vocabulary including decorative and textural techniques
  • Confidence to continue embellishing and finishing your piece at home
  • Inspiration to begin a new work from nature's detail
All levels welcome. Beginner-friendly, guided at a gentle pace.

Please note: Public dates for this class require at least 4 guests to run. In the unlikely event that we don't reach this number, we may cancel the session; if that happens, we'll inform you and let you choose between a refund or reschedule, so please watch your email/SMS one day prior to the class.

Hi, I’m Alison, a creative workshop facilitator with over 30 years of experience in the craft and creative industries.
Throughout my career I’ve worked across many creative mediums including textiles, slow stitching, mixed media, paper craft and decorative crafts for the home. I have run a craft business for many years and have taught numerous workshops and creative gatherings for people wanting to explore their creativity in a relaxed and supportive environment.
Teaching is the part of my work I love most. Seeing someone discover a new skill, gain confidence, and leave with something they are proud of is incredibly rewarding.
My workshops focus on accessible, beginner-friendly projects that allow participants to explore creativity without pressure. I am especially passionate about slower, mindful crafts such as slow stitching, paper flowers and small decorative art pieces that encourage people to pause, focus and enjoy the creative process.
Students often tell me they appreciate the relaxed atmosphere of my workshops and how inspiring it is to create alongside others. Each class becomes a small creative community where ideas are shared and everyone’s work turns out beautifully unique.
Whether you are completely new to crafting or simply looking for a creative afternoon, my aim is for you to leave feeling inspired, relaxed and excited to keep creating.
