Just a quick reminder that this weekend is my smocking workshop at the Museum of English Rural Life.
Today is the very last day that you can sign up – in fact you’ve got about an hour and a half left if you want to secure a place!
The course runs from 2:15-4:15 on both Saturday and Sunday, and you need to be able to attend both sessions. It costs £35, and you’ll be provided with all of the materials you need to make a smocked bag.
All abilities are welcome! Even if you’ve never sewn a stitch in your life, this is a simple project that you should be able to manage over the weekend. If you’re an experienced needleworker, then you can used more advanced techniques to produce an intricate design.
To book your place you can call 0118 378 8660, send an email to merlevents@reading.ac.uk, or fill in the online booking form.
