This masterclass will explore Adriana’s own design of hand embroidery A-Z floral lettering. Adriana or Miga de Pan is a well known embroidery artist and one of our absolute favorites. Traveling from Argentina, teaching exclusively in the Netherlands at Cross & Woods. This is a unique opportunity to meet her in person and learn from the artist herself!
In this personalized class each student will be able to learn the stitches from the sampler that they like the most. From the most popular to the most difficult and unknown. They also will learn to combine different thicknesses and amounts of strands according to each stitch. This way of working gives to the embroidery an aesthetic richness in textures and strong aspect of simplicity, which is the style that characterizes the work of Adriana.
Not only they'll learn all the tricks of Adriana, from how to thread the needle to how to embroider knotless, which stitches go better with wool or cotton, but the students will work on a previously silkscreened fabric, which makes the task much more pleasant.
Each workshop is a complete class and is suitable for all, from beginners to experienced stitchers who wish to take their needlework to the next level.
