Embroider with Nature with Elnaz

We are welcoming a new workshop to Left Bank - bringing together nature with embroidery on this workshop with embroidery artist and educator Elnaz Yazdani!

Experiment with dried flowers and natural colours to create your own unique piece of embroidery art, Elnaz Yazdani dries and collects flowers from her allotment, garden, and walks. You will learn a range of exciting hand embroidery stitches to apply these elements of nature onto natural fabric using beadwork and hand embroidery.

The workshop combines nature with embroidery in an experimental way. Allowing you to explore process, nature, and connection in your own time.
