Corinne is an award-winning textile artist based in North Lancashire, UK. She creates three-dimensional embroidered heirloom artwork. Her stitched plant sculptures are inspired by botanical specimens, plant meanings, and historical artefacts. Her work is in private collections all over the world. 

In this workshop, Corinne will firstly teach you how to make the beautiful flax fibre paper that she uses in her work. You will then go on to learn how to study your floral inspiration, make templates and make 3D embroidered flowers using hand or machine embroidery; incorporating stumpwork methods. 

The completed flowers can be put onto stems to display in a vase, or can be used to decorate hats and head-dresses or other accessories. Some basic hand sewing or freehand machine embroidery experience would be useful.
