Wildwood Stitch Embroidery Workshop in Sydney

Explore the joy of slow stitching in this relaxing embroidery workshop with acclaimed textile artist Pauline Franklyn. Working onto beautifully block-printed fabrics, you’ll bring each design to life with colour and texture using a palette of hand-dyed wool yarns.!

In Wildwood Stitch, Pauline will guide you through a creative journey that combines block printing with the beauty of hand embroidery. The designs for this workshop are pre-printed onto colourful woven cottons, ready for you to choose your background and begin stitching. Pauline will also demonstrate the block-printing process so you can explore it at home if you’d like.

Using her extensive collection of hand-dyed wool yarns, you’ll learn a range of stitches including backstitch, lazy daisy, French knots, chain stitch, and fly stitch. With guidance on colour and texture, you’ll be encouraged to experiment and bring your chosen design to life with your own creative flair.

By the end of the session, you’ll have a unique embroidered piece that can be framed as a work of art or transformed into a practical item such as a needle case, pocket, or decorative insert.

This workshop offers a morning of mindful making, colour play, and gentle creativity – the perfect way to recharge while learning new embroidery skills in a supportive studio environment.

Cancellation Policy: Due to the limited number of spaces for workshops, all bookings are final and strictly non refundable. We do not refund classes but you are welcome to send someone else in your place if you can't make it on the day. Since Pauline is a special guest teacher it is not possible to reschedule the workshop to another day. In most of our workshops we require a minimum number of people to run the workshop and will do our absolute best to run every workshop we list but occasionally it is not commercially feasible to do so. In the unlikely event that we don't reach this number, we may cancel the class; in this case, we'll inform you and allow you to get a full refund or reschedule.
