Textiles workshop: Introduction to creative mark-making with stitch & fabric with Clare Spender
Advertisement
Join textile artist Clare for an introduction to simple printing and stitching techniques.
A selection of vintage and new fabrics will be provided for you to experiment with using a heat press printing technique and different hand stitching methods which will include applique, simple quilting and mending techniques connecting with traditional stitching methods such Kantha stitching. Kantha stitching is a traditional Indian stitching technique that uses a simple running stitch to bind fabrics together to create a beautifully stitched surface.
This workshop is about breathing new life into old fabric and giving them a new decorative purpose.
You will spend the workshop experimenting in the relaxed creative setting of Walrus Studios, exploring different printed base fabric surfaces to start your experimental mark making using stitch.
All materials will be included but if you have your own fabrics that you wish to bring along, please do.
All levels of experience welcome.
