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 !
Denise Stocker –
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.
