Design to Stitch

Unfortunately due to lack of students the workshop was cancelled, but rather than disappoint the two ladies I ran it from my home.
The day went really well and was enjoyed by both Sue and Vicky, who went home with a good supply of painted papers & 2 fabric pieces- hopefully they can use them in future projects!!

I have now managed to get the paint and glue off most of my fingers, it did help washing all the little pots etc that were used during the day!!.
                         ***********************************************

My next workshop will be on Wednesday 9th July 10.00am to 4.00pm- 'Design to Stitch' at Avant Garden Centre, Wigan Road, Leyland PR25 5XW  £35.00 which includes a light lunch & all refreshments during the day. If you are interested please ring Avant Garden Centre pn 01772 433777 to book and obtain a requirement list.

The ultimate goal of this workshop is to take away the fear of design & the cries of "but I can't draw". The aim is to experiment with various ways of creating a design with the ultimate idea of making a piece of textile art.

We will use photos, pictures from magazines, postcards & books, and we will develop various methods eg. sketching, collaging, mark making & the old ways of using your eyes to really look!!!

We will discuss more advanced methods of design as in Photoshop & the use of mixed media- Playtime again!
