Two Day Course
Saturday 7th and Sunday 8th March
ALL MATERIALS INCLUDED
This is a free motion embroidery and mixed media weekend workshop. From samples I have collected from the beach I will give lots of help on colour, texture and manipulation to make your rock pool look real.
You will be working with fine fabrics, sheers, felt, thicker threads, paints, Lutradur, tyvec and other exciting bits and pieces.
The foundation is mostly machine embroidery but you will be using heat tool, heat guns, painting and water soluble.
You will go home with a square mounted piece with 3D elements that can be displayed in a box frame.
Includes refreshments both days
