Two Day Course
Saturday 28th and Sunday 29th June
All Materials Included
NEW Workshop
I am really looking forward to teaching this for the first time, I developed it for an article for Stitch Magazine, who liked my fungus and lichens but wanted a different subject.
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 homemade lunch and refreshments both days
