Mountmellick embroidery, also known as Mountmellick work, is a traditional whitework technique that originated in the early 19th century in Mountmellick, County Laois, Ireland.

The embroidery is always worked on white fabric, using a range of white threads. The contrast in thread textures bring out the detail in the embroidery.

During this workshop you will learn a simple history of Mountmellick, how to use the different threads to gain interesting effects as well as create your own simple piece of Mountmellick embroidery.

You can either sit back and watch the demonstration or craft-along. If you do intend to craft-along, please ensure you have all of your materials ready to go.
