Welcome to Week Two of Project eARTh’s Mexican Embroidery Project, an exciting and colourful project to cheer us up during winter and lockdown, inspired by embroidery from the Otomi region of Mexico, with Amanda Whewell – artist.
Feel free to join in, by following the PDF Activity Sheet and the short ‘how to’ film, to be found here:
Click here for the activity sheet pdf.
The activity sheet and film show how you can use your drawings from last week and learn how to combine them to make a beautiful and detailed design for embroidery.
Week 3 will follow on March 1st.
Then those people who love stitching, will embroider their designs onto 30 x 30cm calico. And others will post their designs outlined on calico, back to us, and we will then post them out to the members who would like to embroider more. We are going to leave plenty of time for stitching – people can relax and do that over Spring and Summer alongside other new projects. The final work will be put together for artwork for The Bureau in Glossop.
Get in touch with alison@highpeakarts.org if you would like to embroider your own or someone else’s design, so we can send you calico, hoop, needles and thread.
