Description
A four day course run over two months. Project Harbour is made up of practical days in the studio and work at home, team feedback as well as one to one mentoring. Outcome will be a completed harbour, no smaller than A3 either inspired from photos from your own holidays or a painted picture. The first session will involve scaling up your design, deciding on how to tackle – ie with paint and/or fabric elements, suitability of fabrics for your project and raw edge applique with the free machine embroidery foot. Further days will involve paint and ‘thread painting stitch’ demonstrations and personal development time. You will be required to bring your sewing machine in to the studio and please look to the requirements list before booking on the course. This course is open to anyone wishing to take the leap into design and build upon their confidence in free motion stitching. The final day will be a practical day but also one of consolidation and how to /where to frame/mount the art work will be discussed. Images shown are by students who have completed the course and you may have seen Stitchers Inc exhibit their pieces at Red Lion Books in Colchester in 2018. If you wish to chat the course over in further detail do drop me an email. (main pic shown by: Margaret Kay)

I found this workshop to be quite out of my comfort zone and therefore challenging but with excellent guidance from Alex I managed to complete it . It did require homework between the workshop dates so that you can build on your project. Thank you so much Alex for your support through the 4 days. It was most enjoyable and if a challenge is what you want then go for this workshop.

Thank you Debbs

This has taken me some time to complete, perhaps I shouldn’t have done 2 side by side!!! It has been quite labour intensive but I’m thrilled with the results and I will be framing both. I loved the techniques and tuition give by Alex. I would highly recommend this course.
