Create Grids using Laid Work (one-day course)
with Janet Edmonds

Friday 20 March 2026, 10.30am - 4pm
ABOUT THE WORKSHOP
There is an infinite range of patterns that can be made in grid form. Many stitch techniques are based on fabrics that are woven with evenly placed threads. This course examines laid work, a method of stitching grids and adding further stitch to make patterns. Suitable for all levels.
ABOUT THE TUTOR
Janet has a passion for drawing and stitching the infinite detail of organic surfaces. Drawing is fundamental to her practice and visual research is the means through which she develops practical work.
With experience in ceramics, art and design, Janet constructs with fabric and thread, to create both 2D and 3D pieces. This process of making advances slowly over time, giving space to evaluate and adjust technique when necessary. The building blocks of countryside and organic structures develop slowly too, with weathering and seasonal adjustment adding variety and inspiration.
Janet is an experienced tutor delivering courses throughout the UK. She is a member of the Buckinghamshire Craft Guild and the author of four books on Embroidery.
WHAT TO BRING
Materials are included in the workshop price, but you may want to bring your own sewing kit and some fabrics to play with as well. There will be a lunch break in the middle of the session in the QPAC coffee bar. Snacks and drinks are available for purchase but you may also want to bring your own lunch with you.
