ONLINE 23rd May 11.30pm Textile Surfaces and Mixed Media Workshop

My online workshops are designed to be enjoyed from the comfort of your own home, with live sessions accessible to participants from all over the world! All workshops are hosted via Zoom, ensuring an interactive experience as close as possible to an in-person session.

This workshop is designed to encourage exploration and creativity, with less focus on a finished product and more emphasis on the process of 'freeing up and exploring'. It’s an opportunity to push the boundaries of soft materials and techniques, allowing you to experiment and discover new ways to build up layers with both paint and stitch.
Begin with working with delicate fabrics, where you will explore building texture and create exciting, tactile backgrounds. These subtle, stitched backgrounds will then serve as a base for applying print and colour, allowing you to play with different hues and marks to develop a unique set of surfaces. Once your backgrounds are established, you’ll explore decorative embellishment, adding layers of depth with contrasting tactile stitch.
The focus will be on experimentation and freeing up your approach to embroidery, backgrounds and fabrics. By the end of the session, you’ll have a selection of exciting, textured samples that can be mounted or framed. A perfect way to bring fresh ideas and techniques into your own creative practice.

This online workshop will take place live on Zoom. You will have the option to either work alongside me or watch my demonstrations and work independently away from the screen.

Materials are not included, but a materials list will be sent out three weeks prior to the workshop date.
