Description
Exactly what it says on the tin – this is a ten day course over ten months, designed to bridge the gap from initial designs to completed art work. We will explore the techniques and tools to depict your ideas in textile art. Full, fun and practical workshops, the days runs from 10am -3pm and explore a multitude of methods and topics dear to my heart…using inks and sketchbook work as a starting point – we take on projects such as painting and stitching, creating paper landscapes, rust dying and cards, textural techniques, machine embroidery stitches, water soluble methods, and printing. There is homework…and most stitch is done in between studio sessions at home. Main topic focus: Landscapes and flowers.
The course is very machine embroidery focused so students need to be confident stitchers on the machine. I focus more on design for textiles, rather than stitch techniques although we do have some practical stitch days in the studio where we cover cable stitch and stitches for textural effects.

Fee shown is £240 is per term and there are two terms of five studio days.
First term in 2023 – Sept-Dec – dates now published.

Very good course. Gave me enthusiasm and direction to do far more textile art. Lots of ideas and techniques to improve ability to design, plan, and execute pieces. And lovely to see everyone else’s versions of topics.
