Workshop

Description:  The Persian Chair is a miniature chair worked in a variety of needlepoint stitches on 24-count Congress Cloth. I used my hand-dyed, stranded silks for the original version, but it will work just as well if you choose stranded cottons or other fibers suitable for 24-count fabric.

The design of the chair was inspired by the stylistic combination of geometric and floral motifs often seen in Persian style designs. The finished size of the chair is approximately 15cm wide x 11cm deep and 17cm tall (6 x 4.5 x 6.75 inches).

In the workshop you will learn all the stitches required to complete the project as well as learning how to complete the construction (which is not as tricky as it looks – I promise!).
