Heritage Needlecraft Workshop - Strippy Quilts and Weardale Chain

Heritage Needlecraft Workshop - Strippy Quilts and Weardale Chain

'Travel through time and learn a new skill along the way'

Our hands-on Heritage Workshops teach transferable skills and the histories behind them in a full day (6 hrs) programme.

Topics range from Viking motif appliqué to '70s macramé, with Arts & Crafts tapestry, Regency embroidery, Liberty Florals, Durham quilting and more in-between.

The histories have a uniquely British flavour, with many rooted in Yorkshire and the North East. The skills are timeless: knitting, tapestry-work, quilting, cross stitch, appliqué, macramé, embroidery and beading.

We also have shorter Saturday Skills Classes to learn new skills or develop existing ones.

Itinerary

Explore traditional North Country quilts and classic strippy designs. Learn Weardale chain and cable twist and how to mark out these designs.

Put your new-found skills into practice by making a hand quilted sampler that can be made into a table mat.

Taught by textile artist Helen Barnes.
