This is a skills building workshop focusing on techniques you can use to decorate fabric to use in fabric collage.
We will be exploring a range of textile surface design techniques using paints, dyes, inks and vinyls. These are all techniques that I use to create interesting backgrounds and fabric pieces for Applique, and produce unpredictable and exciting results.
During the workshop you will be given a small blank fabric Stitchbook and then will create a number of samples to add to the book to create a reference library of techniques you can use in future projects.
Techniques covered:
Brusho Dyes
Inktense Pencils
Gel plate printing
Using vinyl shapes
You will have time during the day to try out the new techniques and add the samples to your Stitchbook.
This is not a masterclass into one method or skill but an overview of a range of possible techniques. Hopefully by the end of the day you will be excited by the processes and results and be ready to start your own exploration into fabric surface design.
(Please note- this workshop is designed for fabric art projects and the finished samples will not be washable).
The course runs from 10 – 3.30pm and will have a half hour break for lunch. Due to the small size of my studio there will be a maximum of 3 participants. Suitable for age 16+
It will be held at my Hotwalls studio which is a lovely place to spend the day. There will be a break for lunch and you can bring your own or visit the fantastic onsite Canteen. I will also be providing tea and coffee throughout the day.
There are several parking options such as the Land Rover BAR car park and some on street parking.
Terms and Conditions:
Payment must be paid upon booking.
Cancellations may be made up to and including the day of participation for a full refund or change onto another course if available. However I would prefer if you could give two weeks notice so I can try to fill the space.
Workshops will only be held with sufficient participants and I may have to cancel certain sessions if the numbers are not made. If this happens you will be offered an alternative date or have your booking fee completely refunded. I will try and give you two weeks notice of any cancellations although this cannot be guaranteed due to unforseen circumstances such as Covid-19.
Gift Certificates are available and may be exchanged for their value against other workshops, or exchanged for equivalent price products from my Etsy or Stitchbook Studio shops.
