March talk by Heather Everitt - Friday 1st March

Heather Everitt is an embroiderer and artist based in the beautiful North Devon landscape, which is a constant inspiration for her work.  

Heather decided to take the plunge from primary teaching into full-time 'making' just over six years ago. She is now a member of the Society for Embroidered Work, which promotes embroidery as an art form, and her work has been sold by Liberty's of London, as well as being featured in "Be Creative" amongst other magazines.

Her current 'Papillio and Lepidoptera' work stems from a fascination with the ephemeral world of butterflies and moths.  Her embroideries are created in pure silk, embellished with machine stitching and hand beading.

Visitors are very welcome to come to the talk.  Visitor price: £6.

There are still a couple of places available on Heather's workshop on Saturday 2nd March, when she will introduce the technique of layering in machine appliqué, and guide us through the processes involved in making a beautiful butterfly panel.
