Mimster Mosaic Embroidery Rabbit Workshop

Tomomi Mimura is coming from Japan to host this fabulous workshop with us in May! Don't miss out, it's going to be a very special event with more classes scheduled during the week of 18 - 24th of May and a meet and greet with the artist Tomomi Mimura and Aitor Saraiba on the 22nd of May. 

Bring your very own rabbit to life with the art of mosaic embroidery!
We provide everything you need: hand-dyed yarn, needles, and fabric pre-printed with the design.

Location: The Craft Council hosted by Loop

Date & Time : Wednesday 20th of May, 3:00 - 6:30 pm 

Mosaic embroidery is a unique technique inspired by traditional darning. Unlike regular embroidery, you’ll layer threads and colours to build up surfaces, creating a textured, mosaic-like effect.

In this workshop, you’ll learn:
• The essential techniques of mosaic embroidery
• How to change colours and create soft, beautiful gradients

Beginners are very welcome. There’s something wonderfully calming about watching the colours overlap and the shape slowly emerge with each stitch. Join us for a gentle, creative moment and discover the joy of making.

We’re thrilled to host Tomomi at the historic Crafts Council, Islington – enjoy your class surrounded by beautiful galleries and rooms that showcase the very best of British craft. The Crafts Council building in Islington is a place that has championed creativity and craftsmanship for decades. From the elegant galleries to the beautifully preserved rooms, every corner exudes inspiration, making it the perfect setting to explore, experiment, and create.

Just a 3-minute walk from Angel Tube and 5-10 minutes from Loop in Camden Passage, the venue sits at the heart of Angel, surrounded by an array of fantastic cafés, shops, and restaurants.  See map here
