Course Details
Join me for five weeks of relaxing, experimental hand stitch with fabulous ferns as our theme! As ferns start to emerge, the beautiful spiral shapes and vibrant green colours, are so inspiring and lovely to stitch. Ferns are a theme I have revisited many times in my own work and make the perfect starting point for embroidery. We will experiment with a range of different techniques and stitching. We'll look at ways of easily colouring and marking fabric, using Inktense pencils and pigments. We'll explore different forms of appliqué, including reverse and raw edge appliqué. We'll try out a variety of stitching, including couching, blanket stitch and fern stitch to create the shapes, marks and textures of ferns and hedgerow undergrowth. Suitable for all levels of experience, this will be a gentle, experimental course which will give you the space and opportunity to work on a lovely inspiring theme, in a small, friendly and creative group with lots of one to one guidance and tuition. You will produce several samples of gorgeous work and one or more beautiful finished pieces, with all materials plus tea, coffee and biscuits provided.
