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.
