Workshop Details

Price - £23 for members (£28 for non-members)

Either hand sewing or machine sewing, if you want to bring your machine along

During the workshop, Kay will help you transform a holiday photo into textile art, using special oil paint sticks and a brush technique.

Your finished design could be turned into a truly personal piece which could be a small bag: a piece of wall art, a calico shopping/tote bag or a cushion. Your design can be embellished with free machine embroidery or hand embroidery. Some simple sewing skills will be required to complete your project; however, the fun is in creating the design and using paint sticks and stitch to bring it to life.

The oil paint sticks are specially designed for use on textiles and once dry and pressed they become permanent and can be washed.

PLEASE BRING:

A basic sewing kit

Embroidery threads

Sewing machine and open toe or darning foot (for free machine embroidery)

Plain cotton fabric

Zip (if wanting to make the small bag)

Additional Costs-  £5 for materials, payable in cash to the Tutor on the day. This includes use of oil paint sticks.

Use of threads and small pieces of fabric.

Recycled fabric.

Calico tote Bags and Cushion covers will be available to purchase.
