Watercolour and Embroidery

Stitch & Splash: A Mixed Media Watercolour + Embroidery Experience

Unleash your creativity in this hands-on mixed media workshop where delicate watercolour washes meet the texture and dimension of embroidery. Perfect for artists of all levels, this immersive session explores how paint and thread can work together to create expressive, tactile artworks.

Participants will begin by learning foundational watercolour techniques—soft gradients, layered colour and intuitive mark-making—to create a vibrant painted base. Once the artwork has dried, you’ll be guided through simple yet stunning embroidery stitches that add depth, detail, and sculptural elements to your piece. By blending fluid pigment with the physicality of thread, you’ll discover new ways to enhance composition, highlight focal points and bring your imagery to life.

Expect a relaxed, collaborative atmosphere filled with experimentation, personal expression and plenty of tips for continuing your mixed media journey at home. You’ll leave with a unique stitched watercolour artwork, new skills, and fresh inspiration.

Ideal for: Beginners and experienced makers interested in exploring the intersection of fine art and fibre art.

Provided: All materials, including watercolour paints, embroidery threads, fabric, needles and hoops.
