Join textile artist Tilly Tea Dance for a one day creative workshop. Using a barbed needle to fuse different fibres together you’ll learn how to use needle-felting and hand embroidery to create a stunning and one-off piece of artwork. No experience is necessary as Maxine will guide us all the way so you can take home a piece of work to be proud of. This is always a popular workshop so please book as early as possible to avoid disappointment.
A Whiter Shade of Pale with Chris Yates Using mono-printing techniques, stamps and stencils, and your chosen colours of paint, you will create an individual background which can then be used to create positive and negative images. These can then be stitched with hand embroidery resulting in a truely indivdual piece (or two). A word of warning this technique is addictive.
