Join artist Elaine Aston for this workshop that explores the therapeutic and healing potential of stitching and working with textiles.
Our emotions can present challenges or obstacles to be overcome. During this workshop, participants will explore their emotions through the act of making and creativity.
To begin, Elaine will invite you to illustrate an emotion using marks on paper which will then be transferred to fabric using threads and colours of your choice. These samples may then be used as the beginning of a fabric book, scroll or one-off textile sample to be framed or included in another textile work.
All equipment, threads and fabric will be provided including a printed sheet of ideas and some instructions. All welcome and no prior experience necessary.
If you have any questions, please email: [email protected].
This workshop is part of a programme of free events to celebrate and share ’Views From Convalescent Hill’: a community-led research and creative project exploring the heritage of rest, wellbeing and care in Felixstowe.
It is funded by The National Lottery Heritage Fund and East Suffolk District Council and is supported by Suffolk Archives, Felixstowe Museum, Suffolk Libraries and Felixstowe Old People’s Welfare Association.
