‘Mixed Media Triptych’ – Machine Embroidery 3 Day Course*new dates

Description

Course outline:

We will spend the first day working with Koh i noor inks and various other paints and metallic wax to produce a textural background with lens tissue, papers and string before on the second day, stitching into your designs using your floral pictures as a design source. You will be taken through a series of steps to create the triptych using sheers and stitch to link all the pieces. On the second day I will show you how I further stitch into the piece accenting some of the flowers and leaves . We will begin to create 3d elements to add to your piece -flower heads and leaves are created using such methods as water soluble in a hoop.  The third day will be slightly shorter , finishing at 3pm but it will be a busy morning spent stitching and working on each panel with demonstrations by me throughout.

This course is suitable for those with experience of free machine embroidery and is ideal for those who are excited about creating structural textiles in their work.

For the August 2027 dates the course will be run with a ‘Rainforest, Hummingbird and Waterfalls’ theme. Please see images courtesy of Michelle Wright from our most recent Triptych course held in Norfolk. The waterfall works so well within the piece and I will work with you to incorporate both block printed flowers and fronds as well as 3D elements to frame your composition.

We will make time on the third day to talk about mounting and framing your A3 artwork.
