MIXED MEDIA EMBROIDERY WITH HELEN AGARWAL
- Date: Saturday 3rd September 2011
- Time: 1.15pm-4pm
Stitched Postcards – Create a postcard-sized work of art! Hang it on your wall or
embellishing love
post it off to a friend.
When you work on a canvas this small, you can achieve a lot in a short space of time. It can be an opportunity to try out new techniques or showcase something you already do well. It’s a brilliant way of using up odds and ends…or a chance to indulge in expensive materials because you need so little of them.
It’s also pure play. You can bond, collage, sew, embellish…then add buttons, beads, hand or machine embroidery. Abstract or figurative, colourful or monotone….there are no mistakes and this class is suitable for absolute beginners as well as the most experienced of artists.
Beautiful embroidery
Please bring some small amounts of fabric, lace, ribbons, buttons, beads or threads or even any small photographs you’d like to incorporate into your work to make it unique and personal to you. Feel free to bring your sewing machine and/or embellisher; or choose to work by hand. (The Texere sewing machine will be available for the class to share).
You’ll create at least one postcard in this class….maybe several, depending on the intricacy of your work.
Sorry, this workshop is now full, please come back in the future for new mixed media & embroidery classes.
