"Small Worlds" Mixed Media Textiles Workshop
An Inspiring Practical Day Learning and practicing with Textiles Artist NIKKI PARMENTER

This pop-up workshop is open to anyone interested in creative textiles. A full day spent with the amazing Nikki Parmenter learning how she develops and creates her wonderful, imaginative artworks and how you can easily do this yourself or with your students :)





'Small Worlds' Mixed Media Textiles Workshop

Create a fantastic "Small World" similar to the one shown, using fused fabric, free machine embroidery and mixed media. 
Join Nikki Parmenter to make a fabulous fused fabric flower, bird, fish, butterfly, elephant or frog. This will be thread painted and padded. Make a circular "environment" for your creature to be displayed in using an inspiring array of materials from which you will fashion leaves, flowers, corals and seaweed. There will be an emphasis on colour and composition, and each participant will receive individual guidance on these formal elements. A string of LED lights will provide a final flourish!




WHAT YOU WILL DO:
1. Experiment with a wide range of exciting media including repurposed materials, fabric manipulation, collage, and wrapping.
2. Improve your free machine embroidery techniques and learn how to transfer a drawing onto a piece of fused fabric.
3. Develop your skills in the creation of a cohesive composition with a well considered colour scheme.
4. Gain the confidence to apply the techniques that you have covered on the course to your own chosen subject matter. 

Materials Provided

All the equipment you need are provided including some materials: 
Felt / fabrics / netting / safety eye / templates / embellishments / funky foam / wire ring / LED lights / embellishments.

Materials to Bring

You will need to bring a selection of batrik style cotton fabrics to wrap around the wire rings (which are provided); some padding/wadding and some pieces of patterned and plain fabrics (12 inch square) for the background.

Course Developer and Leader: NIKKI PARMENTER
NIKKI PARMENTER has a BA First Class Honours Degree in Fine Art and an MA. She taught Art full time at Poynton High School, leaving in 2016 to pursue a career in textiles and education.
Based in Cheshire, Nikki's specialises in mixed media / textile artist specialising in large scale pieces incorporating free machine embroidery. She takes her inspiration from a variety of sources and is particularly interested in the way in which ancient societies created a series of visual symbols to represent the things which were important to them. She investigates myth and legend and draws parallels between societies, showing that although many people have different beliefs we are all united by visual iconography.
Nikki has done many workshops in schools and for Textiles Skills Cente, as well as Tea 'N Chat events looking at her work and demoing techniques.
She has exhibited widely both in group and solo shows both in the UK and abroad and has published articles in a number of publications.

If you love music, you'll love learning to play - it really is great fun and not nearly so difficult as you might imagine. By having it explained patiently and clearly at a pace to suit you and by playing songs and tunes that excite and inspire you, you will build up confidence, expertise and a personal repertoire in no time.
Whether starting from scratch or beginning again as an adult after regretting giving up at an earlier age (a most common scenario!), I'm confident you will find what you need here to have a most satisfying hobby or interest that can be done at any age and at any time.



Lessons
All lessons are taught in a pupose built room with two acoustic pianos - a Weber baby grand and a Yamaha upright - with several home keyboards, workstations and synthesisers also available to choose from.
There is a massive library of music available covering all genres and styles - if James doesn't have it, most pieces can quickly be sourced online and all photocopied sheet music supplied is included in the price of the lesson.
Lessons cost £13.50 per half hour and £22 per hour



About James...
As well as being classically trained, James has had the added advantageof being a live performer and has gigged professionally since his teens both in piano bars and as a keyboard/synth player in various bands. This experience gives him a different dimension to his teaching and an advantage over the average school music teacher.
Incorporating the best of both worlds into his teaching style - the strict reading discipline of classical with the freedom of improvisation and the less heavy approach to playing commercial music - makes James the perfect teacher for all ages and styles.
"I firmly believe in teaching to suit the individual persons needs and abilities. I've learned from experience not everyone wants to be Mozart - most people just love music and want to have fun playing their favourite songs and tunes. Of course there has to be a sensible commitment to daily practice, but depending on level & ability, steady progress for most beginners can be achieved with 20-30 minutes each day"

All you need to bring along to a workshop is a pair of shoes. And reading glasses if you wear them already, as it is close-up work.
Your shoes can be brand new or well-worn. They can be any colour, any upper material, any shoe style and any heel height. Adults or children shoes. You can bring more than one pair of shoes if you would like to, and choose on the day what to embellish. If there is enough time, you can embellish as many items as you wish.
This beginner workshop will show you how to practice Nicky's FIVE top tips tricks mastered over the last 13 years. 
How to use the right amount of crystal glue
How to carefully apply crystal onto your shoes
How to create a design, sized to the space on your shoes

The room is private to you and your friends only, so you can relax and take it easy with a cup of tea, or drink prosecco and party!

I&rsquo;m a sucker for Emily Henry and will always be happy to see an innovative take on tropey love stories, but Daisy is equally very keen to see to things a bit outside of the box, whether that&rsquo;s integrating speculative elements, dark humour, or topical issues. In any case, humour and originality are my priority, and affectionately snarky bickering is the best way to make her fall head over heels with a couple.</span></p><p style="color: rgb(88, 88, 90); font-size: var(--font-size); box-sizing: border-box;" fr-original-style=" color: rgb(88, 88, 90);"><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); box-sizing: border-box;" fr-original-style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">3) Sleuths!

LOOKING FOR: ADULT FICTION, NON-FICTION

Daisy Chandley joined PFD in 2019 after graduating from the University of Oxford with a BA in Politics, Philosophy and Economics. She is an Associate Agent and assistant to Senior Agent Annabel Merullo and Head of Books Tim Bates as the UK sub-agent for New Directions Publishing in the US. Daisy is actively building a list of both fiction and non-fiction authors across a range of genres.

With fiction, Daisy's wishlist roughly falls into three categories – if something feels like it overlaps between them, even better!

1) Sharp, original novels on the literary to upmarket spectrum, all the way from deeply dark and boundary-pushing books like Hurricane Season, Under The Skin or In The Cut to those balancing edge, heart and humour, like Detransition, Baby or A Visit From The Goon Squad. She loves irreverent wit, daring approaches in narrative or form, and seriously unsettling stories in equal measure, and if you can bring a few of those elements into one, it’ll go straight to the top of her.

2) Com-heavy rom-coms, whether in the dry but ultimately sob-inducing vein of Greta and Valdin or a Nora Ephron film, the escapist screwball delight of a Cary Grant classic, or the more unusual, genre-bending style of something like Palm Springs. Daisy is a sucker for Emily Henry and will always be happy to see an innovative take on tropey love stories, but is equally very keen to see to things a bit outside of the box, whether that’s integrating speculative elements, dark humour, or topical issues. In any case, humour and originality are my priority, and affectionately snarky bickering is the best way to make her fall head over heels with a couple.

3) Sleuths! Daisy is not the right person for police procedurals, but loves classic detectives and amateur sleuths. Whether it’s a delightful Knives Out or Nancy Drew homage or an intricate, unputdownable mystery on the darker side, the minute someone finds a good old fashioned clue, count her in!

Overall, whether it’s a delightfully fun and scandalous page-turner or something really bold and experimental, if it’s stylish and smart – and maybe even a bit sexy – Daisy would love to see it.

Daisy is definitely interested in literary speculative fiction, though not generally looking for hard SFF. Across the board, she is always looking for stories that explore sexuality, race, gender, and disability, and would particularly love to hear from writers whose voices and experiences aren’t given enough space in publishing.

On the non-fiction side, Daisy is looking for bold new insights and underrepresented voices on popular science, nature writing, relationships, social issues and politics, and am always especially interested in fresh, playful and exciting writing on pop culture, love and the internet. She’d also love to see illuminating narrative non-fiction, whether a beautiful and lyrical exploration, or an enthralling and explosive deep-dive.

A (large) handful of authors past and present whose work Daisy loves include Patricia Lockwood, Toni Morrison, Elif Batuman, Gillian Flynn, Shirley Jackson, Raven Leilani, Max Porter, Carmen Maria Machado, Virginia Woolf, Sayaka Murata, Kiley Reid, Sally Rooney, George Saunders, Joan Didion, Amy Liptrot, Ottessa Moshfegh, J.D. Salinger, Donna Tartt, Bret Easton Ellis, and Fernanda Melchor.

Daisy is not the right fit for Children’s or YA authors. 

Daisy would like you to submit a covering letter, 1 page synopsis and the first 2,500 words of your manuscript in a single word document.

(In addition to the paid sessions, Daisy is kindly offering one free session for low income/under-represented writers. Please email agent121@iaminprint.co.uk to apply, outlining your case for this option which is offered at the discretion of I Am In Print). 
By booking you understand you need to conduct an internet connection test with I Am In Print prior to the event. You also agree to email your material in one document to reach I Am In Print by the stated submission deadline and note that I Am In Print take no responsibility for the advice received during your agent meeting.

LOOKING FOR:  MIDDLE GRADE, YOUNG ADULT & ADULT FICTION AS WELL AS NON-FICTION FOR ALL AGES

Prior to joining DKW in 2023, Camille worked at David Higham Associates as Agent’s Assistant to Jane Gregory and in the Children’s Translation Rights team. She has also worked in editorial for an academic publisher, in rights and marketing for an audiobook publisher and as an intern at Felicity Bryan Literary Agency. Camille loves engaging with narratives on a structural level in order to draw out their best qualities. Camille has an MSc in Publishing from Edinburgh Napier University and an MA in English Literature from the University of Edinburgh. She was Secretary of the Association of Authors’ Agents, as well as Co-Chair for the AAA’s Bridge Committee for early career agents and assistants, from late 2021 to early 2024. She also previously volunteered at the Story Museum in Oxford.

Camille has now set up her own agency called Solas Literary.

Camille is looking for middle grade, young adult and adult/crossover fiction, as well as non-fiction for all ages. In MG, she loves literary voices and stories with heart and warmth - she would be keen to see anything in the vein of Jonathan Stroud's Lockwood and Co series, October, October by Katya Balen, and A Face Like Glass by Frances Hardinge. In YA, Camille's taste spans from commercial to the literary, encompassing everything from A Good Girl's Guide to Murder and The Inheritance Games to This Woven Kingdom and anything by Meg Rosoff and Jandy Nelson. 

In the crossover/adult space, Camille's taste is broad but with an emphasis on romance. Recent favourites include: Fourth Wing, The Crimson Moth and One Golden Summer.   

She's not the right fit for epic fantasy in the vein of The Poppy War or Brandon Sanderson, or for space operas and similar science fiction. 

Camille would like you to submit a covering letter, 1 page synopsis and the first three chapters or 5,000 words of your manuscript in a single word document.

On the fiction side, she is looking for historical fiction that is well researched, immerses readers in the era, and looks at overlooked characters from the past, or perhaps gives a new spin on someone we think we know. On the literary and upmarket side, she is looking for novels infused with emotions that capture the human experience and make readers think. If your literary novel is something at A24 productions might turn into a movie, this is Liza&rsquo;s taste.</p><p fr-original-style="" style="color: var(--text); font-size: var(--font-size); box-sizing: border-box;">When it comes to fantasy, she loves urban and grounded fantasy (no sci-fi please!), and is always happy to look at anything with a vampire, werewolf, witches, warlocks, fairies, and perhaps a sinister selkie or two. She is also very much looking for romantasy and is the best person at the agency to submit that too. For thrillers, send her anything set in an exotic location, high-concept, or things with a speculative twist. She loves when characters are put in situations she would never want to be in, and then they have to get out of it. Her recent favourite fiction includes:&nbsp;<em fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: border-box;">Notes on an Execution, Lady Macbethad, Hamnet, A Discovery of Witches, House of Earth and Blood, The Starless Sea, Piranesi, Our Wives Under the Sea, The Pisces, Such A Fun Age.</em></p><p fr-original-style="" style="color: var(--text); font-size: var(--font-size); box-sizing: border-box;">When it comes to non fiction, she is looking for books that teach her something new or reframe a topic from an alternative point of view.

LOOKING FOR: ADULT FICTION, NON-FICTION

Liza represents a range of fiction and non-fiction. On the fiction side, she is looking for historical fiction that is well researched, immerses readers in the era, and looks at overlooked characters from the past, or perhaps gives a new spin on someone we think we know. On the literary and upmarket side, she is looking for novels infused with emotions that capture the human experience and make readers think. If your literary novel is something that A24 productions might turn into a movie, this is Liza’s taste.

When it comes to fantasy, she loves urban and grounded fantasy (no sci-fi please!), and is always happy to look at anything with a vampire, werewolf, witches, warlocks, fairies, and perhaps a sinister selkie or two. She is also very much looking for romantasy and is the best person at the agency to submit that too. For thrillers, send her anything set in an exotic location, high-concept, or things with a speculative twist. She loves when characters are put in situations she would never want to be in, and then they have to get out of it. Her recent favourite fiction includes: Notes on an Execution, Lady Macbethad, Hamnet, A Discovery of Witches, House of Earth and Blood, The Starless Sea, Piranesi, Our Wives Under the Sea, The Pisces, Such A Fun Age.

When it comes to non fiction, she is looking for books that teach her something new or reframe a topic from an alternative point of view. This can include cookery, pop science, and social history. Liza’s recent favourite non-fiction include: The Five, A History of Art Without Men, Messalina, The Authority Gap, Finding The Mother Tree, Cook This Book, Dessert Person.

Liza would like you to submit a covering letter, 1 - 2 page synopsis and the first 5000 words of your manuscript in a single word document. 

(In addition to the paid sessions, Liza is kindly offering one free session for low income/underrepresented writers. Please email agent121@iaminprint.co.uk to apply, outlining your case for this option which is offered at the discretion of I Am In Print). 
By booking you understand you need to conduct an internet connection test with I Am In Print prior to the event. You also agree to email your material in one document to reach I Am In Print by the stated submission deadline and note that I Am In Print take no responsibility for the advice received during your agent meeting.

The submission deadline is: Wednesday 27th August 2025
