This crewelwork pincushion motif was inspired by the May Morris-designed bed hangings on William Morris’s bed at Kelmscott Manor. It incorporates the Rose Wreath Panel, designed by William Morris and stitched by May. The pincushion was created using crewel wool on a linen ground and stitched in the authentic fashion of May Morris.
In this four-hour class, suitable for beginners, learn how the stitches are worked and how they have evolved over time. Stitches to explore include Long and Short Stitch, Satin Stitch, Trellis Stitch and Stem Stitch.

About San Francisco School of Needlework and Design
San Francisco School of Needlework and Design (SFSNAD) was founded in 2015 by passionate embroiderers, Lucy Barter and Ellice Sperber. Ms. Barter was trained as an apprentice at the Royal School of Needlework in England and ran their courses in the United States for eight years. Ms. Sperber earned her Diploma at the Royal School of Needlework. The two met during the US-based courses and began envisioning a school of needlework that was not only based in the United States, but would bring a fresh and modern creativity to the art form.
Registration for this class closes on Saturday, June 10, 2023, 2 weeks prior to the start date. If you would like to inquire about the possibility of late registration, please contact info@sfsnad.org. Late registration will be accommodated when possible.
