COLOUR MY TEXTILE WORLD – SOLD OUT please click the email link below if you would like to go on the waiting list Want to be in control of the colours and patterns on cloth? Shops supply many choices of commercial fabrics but not always what you want. There are many ways to colour and to make marks, neat or messy, on cloth. This workshop will introduce you to techniques that can be done at home with affordable media and inexpensive equipment. The results are also permanent and washable. Make fabric for clothing, soft furnishings or textile art. Or just because it’s a great skill to explore and enjoy. All levels |
4 Day | Monday 18 – Thursday 21 March 2024
FREE MOTION FREEDOM, A BEAUTIFUL SWARM Using non-traditional methods of sewing with a domestic sewing machine construct stand alone and embedded images inspired by the world of insects. And, of course, imagination and play. Working with many textures and colours, such as hand dyed cotton fabrics, silk, velvet, glitz, tulle, and lace and yarns. In this class you will learn many ways of texturing and manipulating the various fabrics and then assembling them in a collage method to make a new fabric. Over four days many techniques will be used to explore texture, transparency and unusual substrates. Insect drawings supplied but bring your own images that inspire you to experiment if you wish. You will leave with the potential of exploring different ways of layering and sewing and the courage to try unusual techniques without fear. All levels |
