Workshops with the Textile Circle by Lucie Verhelst

Textile Collage
a Saturday and weekday in April, to be advised,

Morning/afternoon tea provided. BYO: pins, needles and lunch if you stay all day.
This is a very good way of using up fabric scraps that are too beautiful to part with; some might have special memories. All the work is done by hand and therefore the outcome will be different to the machine stitching workshop. The emphasis here is on the process of slow stitching. The pieces of fabric remain more visible and therefore allowing more opportunity to highlight certain prints or textures. You will learn how to start a collage and how to build it further into a larger surface, through various embroidery stitches. We will talk about colour, composition and texture.
The aim of this workshop is learning a new skill and enjoying the process without needing to have an end product. At the end of the workshop you have a small textile piece that can be used in many creative ways: a feature pocket, little bag, wall hanging, etc. It can also be the beginning of a bigger project: a cushion cover, quilt, or even a skirt with a story!
Expect playing, exploring, new inspiration. It is encouraged to bring some of your own fabrics/threads that you like to use in your work.
After this workshop you can join the Slow Stitch Tuesday.
