CHILDHOOD MEMORIES Inspired by the poem ‘The Triantiwontigongolope’ this piece is embroidered using both Stumpwork and Goldwork techniques. The elytra are worked detached with an Or Nue style filling while the organza flight wings have cornelli couching on them. The embroidery uses three wiring and two padding techniques and is worked in a range of silk threads, English gilt and coloured metal threads on a background of silk dupion and mulberry bark. |

TURQUOISE DRAGON – THE MONUMENT VALLEY WYVERN In this workshop participants will work a piece that combines Goldwork, Stumpwork, French Couture and Mixed Media techniques to create your dragon. You will paint a desert on the background silk dupion and then create a butte around which the dragon will take shape. The dragon itself is padded and is worked in gilt and copper purls with chips of turquoise also utilizing tyvek and Angelina fibre. |
