Once you have chosen a design you will cover a multitude of different techniques – from design transfer to preparing your fabric for paint and applique and the course covers free motion stitch effects that you can achieve with the free machine embroidery foot.

Dates:

Clear

Description

Having chosen your design your first day will be spent outlining your motifs onto your background fabric – the second day you will begin to look at colour and appropriate metallic and opaque paints alongside preparing applique pieces of fabric, building up a highly textural wall hanging. Fabrics such as metallic faux leathers, silks and velvets alongside commercially printed cottons will all have a place in your completed wall hanging.

I will have plenty of fabrics in the studio for you to choose from – and we can make time for you to choose these prior to your first day.
There are a couple of weeks in between each session to allow for ‘homework – A big project with plenty of scope for loads of machine stitch and embellishment !

Drop me a message if you would like to come to the next planned Contemporary Panel. This is two day course with a few weeks in between each session.

Denise Stocker – 9th July 2019

This is an intensive 2-day workshop jammed packed with clever and useful technical instruction. Transfer of pattern onto fabric, machine embroidery, textile painting, appliqué using a selection of fabrics to create dimension and interest, finishing off with machine embroidery for embellishment. This project will keep your mind and fingers busy for longer than the two-days. Wonderful workshop. Thank you Alex.
