Hand Darning Workshops - Sampler 2

The act of repairing worn or damaged cloth often involves the traditional technique of darning. In this workshop, I’ll share some of my darning samplers and guide you through a variety of hand‑stitched methods, celebrating the textures and patterns that can be created with just a simple needle and thread.
On a piece of plain cloth, you will create a small sampler to explore a variety of darning techniques, which you can continue to develop at home.

One day workshop dates – 31st May 2026, 12th July 2026 – run from 10am to 4pm with a break for lunch, and take place at the Shavington-cum-Gresty Village Hall, Main Rd, Shavington, Crewe CW2 5DP.
Parking is available at the rear of the hall. More travel information for train and road are available on the bookings page.

Darning Workshops for 2026

Would you like to join me in a Darning Workshop in 2026?

I’ve had quite a few enquiries about hand stitching workshops so I’m currently making plans for some in 2026.

If you’d like more information, email me at me@catherinehill.art and I’ll keep you updated when I have more to share.

‘A Way with Words’ Artist Talk

I’ve opened up my booking diary for 2027 and 2028 for talks and have a few dates available for 2026. I’m based in Crewe and have family in Hertfordshire so I’m happy to travel from either location.

The PowerPoint talk is called ‘A Way with Words’ and shares an insight into how I design and create my hand stitched text based work. I prefer to use your group’s projector if available, but I’m happy to bring my own. I also bring along some original hand stitched pieces for you to see up close, plus a selection of goodies for sale.

If you’d like more information, email me at me@catherinehill.art.
