Embroidery Workshops in the West Midlands: Explore Your Creativity

If you’re searching for embroidery workshops in the West Midlands, look no further! I offer creative textile classes near Bromsgrove that provide a welcoming space to explore expressive stitch. My workshops at the Inkberrow Design Centre (IDC) and Deb Day Sewing Room are designed to inspire and include everyone, whether you are a beginner or an experienced maker.

Where My Workshops Take Place

Inkberrow Design Centre (IDC) - Bromsgrove

The IDC textile room is my main studio base. It’s a bright, relaxed space filled with threads, mixed fibres, inspiration boards, and plenty of room to experiment. This environment is perfect for expressive embroidery, sculptural stitch techniques, and mixed-media textile exploration.

Deb Day Sewing Room - Birmingham

Alongside IDC, I run regular sessions at Deb Day Sewing Room. Here’s what you can expect:

• Stitch Sewcials — Fortnightly Tuesday evenings, 6–8.30 pm

• One-Day Workshops — Themed sessions such as Summer Meadow, complete with full kits, tea, coffee, and cake

  
  

Deb Day’s space is warm, friendly, and ideal for relaxed, community-centred making. For those who prefer to learn from home, online workshops are also available.

Types of Embroidery Workshops Available

Each workshop focuses on expressive, tactile textile practice. There are no rigid patterns or pressure—just guided exploration. Here’s what I offer:

• Expressive Embroidery — Build texture, movement, and emotion through stitch.

• Sculptural Knot Techniques — Learn French knots, bullion knots, raised surfaces, knot clusters, and mixed fibres.

• Mixed-Media Micro-Worlds — Create tiny, layered textile landscapes using fabric, fibre, and stitch.

• Calm, Process-Focused Sessions — Gentle, sensory-friendly workshops perfect for beginners or anyone seeking a slower, mindful creative experience.

• Portfolio & Project Development — For experienced stitchers looking to develop a body of work or explore sculptural embroidery more deeply.

• Stitch Sewcials at Deb Day Sewing Room — Relaxed, community-focused evenings where you bring your own project, slow down, and stitch in good company.

• One-Day Workshops at Deb Day Sewing Room — Themed sessions with full kits, guided techniques, and plenty of refreshments.

  
  

What You’ll Learn in Each Workshop

Across both IDC and Deb Day Sewing Room, you’ll learn how to:

• Create texture using knots, layering, and mixed fibres

• Build confidence with improvisational stitch

• Combine colour, thread weight, and fabric to create depth

• Develop your own visual language through textile mark-making

• Finish and mount small pieces for display or further development

• Explore sculptural embroidery techniques for raised, tactile surfaces

  
  

These skills are designed to be immediately useful and endlessly expandable.

🌱 Perfect for Beginners and Experienced Stitchers

My workshops are intentionally accessible. If you’re a beginner, you’ll receive clear guidance, gentle pacing, and supportive demonstrations. If you’re experienced, you’ll find depth, challenge, and opportunities to push your practice further—especially in sculptural embroidery sessions and mixed-media micro-worlds. Everyone works at their own pace, and every piece becomes a personal exploration of texture, colour, and expression.
