During this course we will be exploring negative space embroidery and exactly what it means. This is a really fun and exploratory course where student with an improvers experience of embroidery can use stitching in a creative way. Over the six sessions we will be using a word and the embroidery will take place around the edge of the word leaving an empty (negative) space or outline of embroidery around the word.
