Wall Hangings

Use a range of mixed media methods to create whimsical wall hangings. You will experiment by manipulating and dyeing your own fabrics and stitched surfaces using inks, bleach and printing with found objects. Once you have a collection of pieces I will share my methods of constructing these pieces into hangings using stitch, wrapping, trapping and binding. Finish off with machine sewing, hand stitch and tactile embellishments for decoration.

Textile surfaces

This workshop is designed to push the boundaries of materials and inspire participants to create exciting textures and surface. Experiment with pattern, print and colour on fabric, paper and unusual surfaces. Then use these backgrounds to create your own selection of exciting samples by developing manipulation techniques, exploring decorative embellishment and finishing with contemporary couching and embroidery.

Accessories and Mini Meadows

Create pretty summer floral accessories and mini meadow landscapes, using hand stitch and fabric manipulation techniques. Learn my processes and experiment with embellishments. You will be able to make a variety of pieces including rings, headbands or brooches.
There will be chance to use machine and hand embroidery.

Textile Vessels

Create your own textile vase using contemporary mixed media techniques including dissolvable fabric, sculptural appliqué, machine embroidery and hand stitch. During the day you will also experiment with paint, ink and dyes to ensure each piece is unique. Perfect for all abilities.

Mixed media and felt

Experiment with colour, stencil and pattern on fabric. Try delicate felting and dissolvable stitch before creating your own textile piece. Then use these pieces to create your own selection of exciting samples by developing heat manipulation techniques, exploring decorative embellishment and finishing with contemporary couching, needle felting and embroidery.
