Mark Making with Elnaz Yazdani.
During introduction to line and mark making with hand stitch you will be guided through a variety of beautiful hand embroidery techniques and stitches using an array of different coloured threads to create your own unique piece of thread art.
All the stitches you learn you can apply to any cloth, item of clothing or accessory so you can carry on stitching beyond the workshop.
Embroidery is also a great way to keep calm and reduce stress levels so come and enjoy the meditative wonders of the process of embroidery.

Your Tutor
Elnaz Yazdani is an embroidery artist and educator based in Yorkshire. Elnaz is dedicated to sharing her textile skills and promoting the importance of embroidery as an art form for the future and for community wellbeing.
Elnaz has taught embroidery throughout her community, within primary, secondary and higher education settings as well as community groups and organisations.
Throughout the 2020 pandemic Elnaz was commended for the teaching excellence award in embroidery via the Embroiderers Guild and became an Embroiderers Guild Scholar after the successful launch of her virtual embroidery school ‘Embroider Your Future’.
Her practice explores ways of transforming traditional embroidery techniques through her choice of unusual materials; she is inspired by industrial, upcycled materials and the ways in which she can embellish, connect or transform these items through stitch to develop a surface or form. Her unique embroidery style has allowed her to work across fashion, jewellery and installation contexts since graduating from Manchester School of Art in 2014.
