Introduction to Bargello Embroidery with Natalie of Bargello-A-Go-Go

Beautiful Bargello embroidery often features shades of one hue across graphic, repeating motifs, stitched in natural wool tapestry yarn. The origins of Bargello embroidery are a little hazy & a little regal. Natalie of Bargello-a-GoGo has been inspired by a 20th Century revival to share her love for both the techniques & the history of Bargello in this workshop.

Bargello can be stitched on fabric or plastic canvas for different end uses. The fabric canvas is perfect for soft furnishings & the plastic is great for bags, plant pot holders & jewellery. In this workshop, you’ll be working on fabric canvas to make two pieces of Bargello embroidery that can be made into a pincushion, or two pincushions with a different backing fabric. Colour palettes of yarn & a needle are provided as well as four different designs to choose from.

This is a hand stitching workshop, with all materials…
