Description

This is where painting meets stitching.

We begin with watercolour washes, ink marks and acrylic pen details — loose, expressive, intuitive. Then we slow it down and bring in thread.

Simple embroidery stitches add texture, line and depth, turning your artwork into something tactile and beautifully layered.

It is not about perfect sewing.

It is not about being “good at drawing”.

It is about experimenting. Trusting the process. Letting paint and thread speak to each other.

Some areas stay soft and fluid. Others become structured and stitched. The contrast is what makes it interesting.

You will learn a few simple embroidery techniques and how to combine them with mixed media in a way that feels natural and playful.
