ALL MATERIALS INCLUDED
Make a delightful 3D mini reef that can be displayed in a dome or 10cm x 10cm perspex cube. We will be working on water soluble and other interesting fabrics with advice on how to create a 3D form. We will be investigating different stitches and talking about colour and painting our work to make it look realistic, using neutral and coloured embroidery threads. Finally we will construct our pieces on prepared and painted fabrics to make a pleasing composition, drawing inspiration from real coral reefs.
Includes refreshments
