You will be provided with a bee which has been padded and outlined, to which you will add beads and goldwork wires. Hannah will show you how to apply the beads and goldwork wires in a variety of ways so that you can make your bee unique to you. Once the bee is embroidered, Hannah will demonstrate how to make your bee into a neatly finished brooch. You do not need any prior embroidery experience to attend this workshop.
