10:00 - 16:00

Level: Intermediate

Create a small fabric collage in a day inspired by gardens in Summer. Kate will demonstrate techniques to create a floral border. We will start by adding foliage stencils to the coloured background, then we will use batik style and hand dyed fabrics collaged on top , with confetti fabric techniques and some hand sewn details to finish the piece. Each piece will be unique in colour and composition.

What to bring:

• A mixture of fabrics to suit your composition: ideal cotton fabrics would be textured, mottled, batiks, or randomly dyed, or small patterns.

• Sewing kit, fabric scissors, some embroidery threads for finishing details.

• Small cutting mat, rotary cutter and quilters ruler, sponges/old plate, brush (for fabric paints), apron.

• Sewing machine. Free motion quilting foot ideally. Threads in greens, browns and flower colours.(It is possible that not much machining will not get done on the workshop day – just the composition.)

• A packed lunch

Included on the day:

• Any other materials not specified for the students to bring

• Expert tuition

• 1 to 1 guidance

• Detailed demonstrations

• A selection of tea, freshly brewed coffee, biscuits and delicious cakes
