My goal is to meet you where you are at as an individual creative and support you to grow gently but surely towards joyful mark making using my favourite techniques.
I'll share my process of selecting, designing and stitching your own contemporary textile collage. We’ll be inspired by florals, vintage fabrics, beautiful colours & textures.
All materials are carefully selected and supplied with plenty for you to take home as well.
During the three full days we will cover off all of the key elements of my process so you have the practical skills to create with joy but also bring those skills together into either a small finished stitched artwork or a larger ongoing project (your choice depending on what size you'd like to work with).
Generous supplies are offered that you are gifted to take home with you to continue creating whenever you like using all of my favourite tools from beautiful hand dyed wools, specially selected vintage textiles and so much more.
Stitching is a slow practice so we will embrace that pace and while we're in slow down mode there will also be lazy lunches, time for a wander and a quiet cuppa and chats with your fellow work-shoppers or for those who are just obsessed there's the option to create and eat and deep dive.
Experience is not essential for this workshop however a basic understanding of how to thread a needle and make simple stitches will get you off to an easier start. If you're a practising creative or someone who stitches regularly this workshop offers a great opportunity to try new ways of working and 'free-up' your approach as my style encourages you to learn more about what sparks joy for you and follow those things to identify your own individual style.
Spaces are limited, book early to avoid disappointment.
All materials, morning tea and lunch are provided each day.
