Embroidery Naples

25/03/2026

Laura Smith gave a lecture at the Neapolitan chapter meeting. Dissolve, Sparkle, and crunch: creating Texture with Mixed Media. Who knew we could use some of these like Lutradur!

The day after our meeting we had a two day workshop Batik to Stitch. So much fun creating our own dyed fabric and patterns with the special chops Laura brought. She lead us through the dyeing, stamping and then of course how to embellish. The floor was our drying area. Lunch time and then onto the next step. Embroidery, beads, natural stones and do dads were explored as we added dimension to our pieces. A possible stash buster when we get home to add more to what Laura gave us.

Deborah Mitek taught a two day class “A Garden View”. We learned to embellish a photo transfer of a beautiful garden. Several embroidery stitches were introduced to enhance the garden. These were new stitches to many of us. Deborah demonstrated how to do all of them. Silk ribbons made it three dimensional. All left ready to see their garden flourish.
