Textures on the Seabed
Join us for a day of fun machine embroidery and textile technique and
experimentation as you create your own fabric art. This workshop is
inspired by the structure of corals, brain coral, leaf shape, branch
patterns... and a few more.
We will echo those textures using
'crashing,' a stitched steaming technique, making Neptune's necklace and
tendrils using soluble techniques, and hole making with scrim, hand and
machine embroidery methods to build a crunchy delicious surface to frame
up. Lots of ideas to play with.
For this workshop you will need to bring along your sewing machine and
be confident enough to use it, although the tutor will be on hand to
support you throughout.
Most materials, a light lunch and refreshments are included in the
workshop fee.
