Description

Dive into an aquatic world – or choose a deep rainforest – whatever your inspiration this course introduces you to the fabulous effects you can achieve with Lutradur, wire and dyed scrim .

Our focus will be on experimenting with this exciting material – alone we can create some great leaf motifs but combined further with twisted wrapped wires and scrim it is possible to create elements that brought together can make a stunning layered artwork with texture and depth.

Bring dyed scrim – we can also colour some on the first day.

*Suitable for those confident with free machine embroidery.
