Jug of Flowers – Caroline Zoob

Who doesn’t have a favourite jug in which they always have flowers? Inspired by the paintings of Mary Fedden, on this course, you can create an image of a jug of flowers either with pure hand embroidery, or appliqué and hand or machine embroidery, or even by mixing up your media and using some papers. You might want to have an open window behind your jug, or piece a patchwork tablecloth for the jug to stand on. The day is about creating a beautiful image for you to frame. Suitable for any level, including beginners.
