WELCOME TO THE TWISTED THREAD
Temari classes and workshops, by Nicola Davis
Home: Welcome
Temari is an ancient and beautiful Japanese art that involves embroidering the surface of a handmade thread ball with stunning designs.​​
Contact The Twisted Thread to arrange your class or workshop today, or check out our online Temari classes.
"I have never worried that embroidery's association with femininity, sweetness, passivity and obedience may subvert my work's feminist intention... What's required are physical and mental skills, fine aesthetic judgement in colour, texture and composition; patient during long training: and assertive individuality of design (and consequence disobedience of aesthetic convention)."
― Rozsika Parker, The Subversive Stitch: Embroidery and the Making of the Feminine
