This striking wildflower species can be identified
by its intricately patterned petals. The checked
pink and purple pattern is reminiscent of
snakeskin scales, hence its common name,
snake’s-head fritillary. The elegant bell-shaped
flowers hang from curving slender stems with
long thin leaves. Wild snake’s head fritillaries,
though once more common, are now classed as
vulnerable.
This design provides an introduction to
needlelace, which is used to fill the petals and
create the distinctive checkerboard pattern. The
design also features a number of surface stitches
including back stitch, split stitch, padded satin
stitch, chain stitch, couching and trailing. Within
the design there is plenty of opportunity to
practise these techniques.
All the stitches will be covered within the tuition
and you will be provided with a detailed
instruction booklet to enable you to complete the
design after the class.
This design is stitched in a selection of vibrantly
coloured cotton threads on a pink cotton fabric.
In order to capture the colours of the plant and
achieve three-dimensional shading, threads will
be blended in the needle and techniques for
transitioning between colours will be covered in
the class.
This class is suitable for embroiderers of all
levels, although some embroidery experience
may be helpful.
Please note this is an in-person class at Hampton Court Palace, East Molesey, Surrey KT8 9AU.
