All Materials Included

A great sculptural machine embroidery one day workshop for beginners and all abilities, exploring the processes of water soluble fabric and stitching. We will discuss colour and design and ways to incorporate other sheer fabrics and stitch techniques in to a bowl. We will make two 3D forms one with a sheer silk cap inner and one smaller one concentrating solely on stitch – great techniques to incorporate in to your work.
