Moroccan Lanterns

Brighten your own embroidery collection with blackwork lanterns!

One of the most emblematic items of Morocco are the artisanal copper lanterns. Found throughout the country wherever illumination is needed, sold in the souqs and medinas, these utilitarian objects are elevated to works of art with intricate piercing and vibrant colored glass.

Brighten your own embroidery collection with this course, in which you will stitch seven unique lanterns in blackwork. While the stitches used are relatively simple, backstitch or Holbein stitch, the challenge is in arranging the lanterns, and consistently stitching them with intricate, geometric patterns.

Registration starts on July 3! Sign up for a reminder below.
