ONL25451 William Morris Inspired Strawberry Brooch
£149.00
Join Becky for a 2-session online class and learn the skills of Metal Thread Embroidery in this William Morris inspired Strawberry brooch design.
Strawberry Thief was first produced in 1883 and was inspired by William Morris’s observation of the thrushes creeping under the strawberry nets to steal the fruit in the garden of his Oxfordshire home, Kelmscott Manor. It remains one of his most popular designs today.
Now you can have your own little piece of the pattern in the form of a Strawberry brooch or decoration made with delicious metal threads in red, gold, pink and blue.
In this hand embroidery project, you will learn stitches including Couching, Cutwork loops and Pearl purl edges, and finish it off with 3D silk purl leaves in the blue of the original print. Once complete the embroidery can be cut out, backed and made into a decorative hanging or brooch measuring approximately 3.5×5.5cm.
Becky will guide you through the project with step by step instructional videos, live demonstrations and will also share inspirational images both historical and current.
You'll have a chance to connect with other students and share your work in progress via a WhatsApp group.
The class kit includes all the materials to complete your design. A list of additional equipment will be sent out prior to the class.
The kit is manufactured by the Royal School of Needlework and includes material, embroidery needles, thread and and instructions with diagrams.
Warning: Not suitable for small children, kit contains sharp objects.
You can explore many more stitches on the RSN Stitch Bank.
