2 Day  |  Saturday 18 – Sunday 19 March 2023
CONTEMPLATION CLOTH – SOLD OUT please click the email link below if you would like to go on the waiting list
Throw perfection out the window! Starting with large piece of calico fabric and fill the cloth with colour! This was a form of colouring in with thread, exploring marking the fabric with paints and pencils, drawing and embroidery. It is experimental, engaging and will open you to so many possibilities for future works of art. Experience the joy as you leave the safety net of traditional embroidery behind and find your place on the cloth. All levels
4 Day  |   Monday 20 – Thursday 23 March 2023
IMPROV EMBROIDERY – SOLD OUT please click the email link below if you would like to go on the waiting list
Leave the commercial embroidery pattern behind! Improv Embroidery uses conventional time-tested stitches but now the rules have changed. Improv refers to inventing your own work rather than following someone else’s patterns and instructions.
Fear of failure? Trying something new? Then you are in the right place. What is perfection? Is it attainable? We can always do better: perfection is a myth which should be debunked and left behind. We need to be kinder to ourselves. As you begin to lose focus on the technique and concentrate on being more intuitive you stop being logical and overthinking. Your art/embroidery becomes unique. You take full ownership. All levels
