Mixed Media Flowers with Stitch
This workshop will give participants the chance to create their own
mixed media flower design using intuitive and playful painting
techniques such as inks and bleach, watercolours and wax resist. Participants will then have the opportunity to work into their paintings
using free machine embroidery, effectively using stitch as a mark making
tool to enhance the painting.
No prior experience is necessary. Delny is an experienced teacher and
will guide you through the creative process and will respond to
individual needs and ideas. This will be a playful workshop. Mixed media
is a wonderfully creative way to work – there are no rules – just a
willingness to have a go and experiment.
All materials, a light lunch and refreshments are included in the
workshop fee.
Please bring along your own sewing machine.

Mindful Invisible Mending Inspired by Japanese Boro
Boro is a Japanese patching technique that was used to extend the life
of domestic textiles. Clothes, quilts and futon covers were patched and
repatched many times using simple patches layered together and running
stitch. You will learn how to use different patching methods and the joy
of slow stitching and how rewarding mending can be. You don't need lots
of space or specialist tools for successful visible mending.
Visible mending is so on trend and popular and this is the perfect
opportunity for you to find out why and have a go. It involves hand
stitching, few rules and the opportunity to slow down and be in the
moment. Visible mending celebrates the wear and tear that your clothes
can acquire, and adds character. It also takes the pressure off trying
to make your mends invisible.
By the end of the day you will have either mended an item of clothing in
the boro style, or made a piece of patchwork that will be art in its own
right.
A light lunch and refreshments are included in the workshop fee. Please
bring along the clothes you want to mend, and the fabric you want to
patch it with.
