EMBROIDER A BEE | Learn about and help our wild bees (28th November)
28/11/2023 @ 1:30 pm - 3:30 pm
Vicks Harrison started the Embroidered Bees Project in 2019 to raise awareness of the loss of biodiversity. The project will create a huge art quilt to help people develop their embroidery skills and learn more about the nearly 300 kinds of bees we have in this country and. It is a long term project and it is hoped that the final artwork will be exhibited to raise donations for wildlife projects.
This workshop will be an opportunity to produce embroidered bees to be added to the project. Complete beginners are very welcome.
More detail about the project is contained in two videos

Please bring a small hoop and a needle, and any embroidery threads and/or cream or white fabric that you have. Old linen napkins and tablecloths are great. This is an unfunded project but Vicks does have a few materials. If you have any embroidery thread, a needle and scissors that would be very helpful – otherwise just book and turn up
