Blue Lagoon Coral Embroidery with Amy Jones

Beginner to Intermediate

Embroidery class with Sydney Craft Week

Dive into the deep blue.

In this special Sydney Craft Week workshop, textile artist Amy Jones guides you through creating a stunning coral-inspired embroidery piece in gorgeous shades of blue. Think sea shells, sea urchins, glass beads and a natural pearl — all worked in wool and cotton threads on fabric and finished in a hoop.

Amy's work is rooted in botanical and natural references, and this workshop captures that dreamlike, meditative quality perfectly. You'll leave with a unique piece of textile art and a handful of new techniques to carry into every project you make.
