Wild Hedgerows Fabric Art with Kate Findlay
Advertisement
Join textile artist Kate for a relaxed and creative full-day workshop, making a beautiful mini fabric artwork inspired by hedgerow plants and birds.
You will design and create a unique textile scene, approximately 20–30cm square, using a range of mixed-media fabric techniques. Kate will guide you step-by-step through the process, while encouraging individual creativity — no two pieces will be the same!
What You’ll Learn & Do:
Stencilling and stamping with fabric paints
Cutting and collaging pre-bonded leaves and branches
Adding a printed bird motif
Finishing your piece with free-motion embroidery
Kate will bring most of the materials needed. There will be a small charge on the day to cover items such as backing felt and fusible web. A detailed list of other requirements will be emailed to you in advance.
Suitable For all levels — beginners and experienced makers are all welcome.
Come along for a friendly, inspiring day of creativity and leave with a finished piece of textile art to treasure!
