Learn how to make a beautiful, unique Nuno felt scarf.

Nuno is a wet felted process that was developed by Polly Stirling from Australia in the early 1990s. The name "Nuno" derives from the Japanese word for cloth. Nuno felting bonds loose fibre, sheep’s wool, into sheer fabrics such as silk gauze and chiffon creating a soft lightweight felt.

First you will learn the Nuno felt technique and how to choose suitable fibres and fabric to make a small decorative sample. Next you will design your Nuno scarf – considering colour, texture and materials, drawing or collaging your ideas. We will have lots of fabric for you to choose from for your design.

Now you will be all set, and the afternoon will be spent creating your unique Nuno felt patchwork scarf. It will be a fun workshop!

This workshop is suitable for complete beginners as well as experienced felters.

All materials, a light lunch and refreshments are included in your workshop fee.

Spend a wonderful day learning the basic technique of eco printing, transferring colour and shape from leaves onto paper and fabric. There are many different leaves that can create images and you will learn about common accessible varieties and the colours they can produce. We will look at the different mordants used to treat your paper and fabrics to make the patterns light and wash-fast.

These mordants can also affect the colours attained and we shall explore that. By investigation and experimentation, you will produce many samples on both paper and fabric. After lunch you will combine your newly acquired skills and eco print a narrow silk scarf.

This workshop is suitable for complete beginners as well as those who want to improve their eco printing skills.

All materials, lunch and refreshments are included in the workshop fee, however you are encouraged to bring along any foliage you would like to try to take prints from.

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.
