A two-day intensive workshop on the basics of opus anglicanum and its key elements, where you'll create medieval embroidery designs inspired by the elements of fire, earth, air and water, and the medieval zodiac.

Led by expert Tanya Bentham, choose to embroider one of the zodiac signs. Each will focus on specific features of the technique such as underside couching and goldwork, trellis couching, stitching human or animal faces, and dappling.
