Jacobean Crewelwork
Crewelwork Embroidery is an ancient embroidery, dating back as far as the 11th century. The Bayeux Tapestry is one of the earliest surviving examples. Crewelwork was refined and perfected during the reign of James 1st. This was known as the Jacobean period. Designs continue to evolve however, the exotic, stylised leaves, flowers, trees, birds, animals and insects of the Jacobean period continue to influence crewelwork today.
Silk Ribbon Embroidery
Silk ribbon embroidery is fun, easy to master and very versatile. The three-dimensional effect of this soft, tactile form of needlework is one of its most endearing qualities. Although a variety of ribbons can be used in embroidery, pure silk ribbons are the only ribbons fine enough to slip through the eye of a thin chenille needle and then though fabric to create delicate silk flowers. Silk ribbon embroidery uses a few stitching techniques that are unique but do not let this put you off as they are very easy to learn.
Embroidery Workshops
Jacqueline runs mixed ability embroidery workshops at various venues across Yorkshire throughout the year. Workshops are inclusive of a bespoke kit designed by Jacqueline.
