Free embroidery
Course leader: Shamiran Adam
Welcome to Capellagården's course in free embroidery! During this week, we gather a basic understanding of materials for free embroidery and "paint with the thread" together with the course leader and art embroiderer Shamiran Adam. We stay in Capellagården's cozy textile workshop and weaving room where we try basic stitches. We work based on our own or joint sketch and use different methods for transferring motifs.
Course fee
The course fee is SEK 5,200. If Capellagården has to cancel the course, you always have the right to get back the course fee you have paid. If you need to withdraw your offer due to obstacles or illness, a refund will be made with 50% of the course fee. Please note that board and lodging are not included in the course fee, but are booked and paid for separately after admission. Material costs for individual works may be added and paid on site.

Board and lodging
Unfortunately, our boarding school is now fully booked. As a course participant, however, it is fine to eat together with your course mates. The price for single meals is then: Breakfast SEK 85, Lunch or dinner SEK 125, Cheese tray (end) SEK 155. Coffee and shared coffee are included in the course fee.
