*In a change to the structure followed in previous offerings of this workshop, participants will now be asked to bring their own fabric.

Please read the information below to find out the reasons and details of this change.

THERE IS NO FABRIC PAINTING ELEMENT TO THIS WORKSHOP FOR THE FOLLOWING REASONS

  • I am trying to be more eco-conscious and I no longer want to order large quantities of fabric and paint.

  • I also want to encourage you to use what you have.

  • This allows more time to spend stitching and completing your piece.

  • Should you be disappointed about the loss of the fabric painting day, anyone who enrols in this workshop will given free access to my online library of fabric painting videos for two months prior to the workshop.

THE DETAILS

  • The cost includes all fabric and paint.

  • All the tools and equipment needed for fabric painting are provided.

  • A healthy lunch, as well as cake and biscuits treats are provided. Unlimited tea and coffee are included.

  • You need to bring your own sewing machine and threads, plus a couple of other supplies. Full details of these will be given upon booking, along with suggestions on thread choices.

  • The course is designed for those wishing to expand their textile art/art quilting skills. It is not a beginners class. You will be expected to have a full working knowledge of how to use your sewing machine, as well as an understanding of how to put a quilt together. The projects can be created in both straight line and/or free machine stitching. I also encourage the use of hand stitch. Don’t be put off you are not proficient in any of these. It is a class developed to help you improve your skills.

  • You do not need to have any experience of painting on fabric before this workshop.

  • Spaces are limited to ten places.
