About this Event

THIS IS A 6 WEEK COURSE STARTING MONDAY 23RD FEBRUARY UNTIL 30TH MARCH 2026.

Join local artist Alice Burford to explore the technique of appliqué, experimenting with layering fabric to create images inspired by nature.

Throughout the 6 weeks, you will explore techniques such as dying fabric, basic stitching, printing on fabric and sewing your designs using layers of different fabrics and materials.

Using nature as inspiration, you will look at surface pattern, composition, colour and design and work towards making a wall hanging and sample pieces.

All materials are included and you will leave with your completed pieces and all the skills and confidence to carry on creating at home.

The course is suitable for complete beginners or those wanting to refresh their skills.

Hot drinks and biscuits are included.
