Gestural Drawing & Textile Quilting Workshop

In this workshop led by Ruby Wilkinson, experiment with gestural drawing, fabric dyeing, and colouring techniques before cutting and reassembling fabrics into quilt-like panels.
Participants will experiment with gestural drawing, fabric dyeing, and colouring techniques before cutting and reassembling their fabrics into quilt-like panels. Each person will create a unique piece to take home, combining playful mark-making with hands-on textile processes.
