ALL MATERIALS INCLUDED
On this weekend workshop, you will go home with a picture stretched and ready to pop in to a standard frame, you will also have the opportunity to work on a second piece.
The day starts with preparing your fabric and frame and then a little bit of loose painting with water based dyes (which you get to keep). Then overlaying sheers and a range of machine embroidery and appliqué. Some machine embroidery experience would be an advantage.
