Sewing on the Unusual with Louise Goult

Embroidery doesn't just have to be on a fabric base - many other materials can be used instead, adding a new and exciting dimension to embroidered artwork.

The morning will be spent with Louise exploring each of the intriguing and unusual materials thoroughly – what the limitations and possibilities are, the more practical skills of embroidering directly into these materials and how to combine them with other materials and fabric.

You’ll create a series of small samples to refer back to and inspire future textile work.

After a break for lunch it’s time to get those creative juices flowing and to put into practice the skills you’ve learnt in the morning by creating your own piece of artwork using unusual materials.

Please note - this workshop is suitable for beginners but they must be 18+
