Let me take the fear out of Free Machine Embroidery as we spend two delightful days exploring drawing and painting with fabric and thread. I'm delighted to be teaching at Janome HQ again after a long break: we will be based in Janome's purpose built training facility, full of machines - so you don't need to worry about a thing, just turn up and enjoy your experience :-)Thread is so much more than a medium for joining two pieces of cloth. It can be a painting medium : we can draw and colour with it, yet in the formation of every stitch we can play with texture…moving from the smooth plain of the fabric to develop fascinating stitched surface structure.
During this delicious workshop I will show you how to draw and capture our own unique scenes and compositions - you’ll draw in a way that is truly useful to your stitch work. We shall practice drawing with thread and push our new skills we development of a unique piece of stitched Artwork.
This is not intended to be a beginners class: you know how to set up your machine and you've had a fair dabble with FME and now you need to get yourself to the next level of the addiction!!
You’ll learn how to work in harmony with your sewing machine, so you both sing to the same tune.
You’ll feel more confident in creating your own unique Artworks
You’ll learn about thread types and weights.
You’ll have the ability to draw and paint with thread, mixing colours as you sew.
23rd & 24th April 10am - 4pm
All machines, materials/threads, refreshments, buffet lunch and home made cake are included
£180.00
As a tutor I have 34 years experience, I teach and exhibit all over the world. I will hold your hand through this journey of discovery as you open up your paint box…there are no rights, no wrongs…it’s your own personal path to developing your own unique style: I can’t wait to get started.
