Discover the beautiful art of applying embroidery techniques to photographs to create a meaningful, tactile memory. Guided by artist Ashley, learn three simple embroidery techniques to embroider a photo with meaning for you.
This workshop is inspired by the Foundling Museum’s permanent collection of tokens, including samplers and embroidery work, and how these symbols represent memories visually.
You will be invited to consider your chosen photograph and think of a related icon, symbol or object to add to your embroidery design to communicate a memory, creating your own ‘photograph trinket’.
No need to stress about coming solo, there will be plenty of opportunities to connect with fellow attendees through making. This is your opportunity to take some time to craft, connect and self-express. What are you waiting for?
Please bring 1-2 printed photographs to work with during the workshop.
