Are you looking to develop your skills with machine embroidery or wanting to learn how to use unusual or different techniques? In this workshop you will play with experimental and unusual surfaces that can revolutionise your creative stitched artworks such as  dissolvable fabric, tyvek, photo transfer paper and lutradur.

We will teach you how to draw with your sewing machine and explore all of the basic techniques of Freehand Machine Embroidery. You will have the opportunity to will play with mark making and infilling using different stitch types and you will learn what can be achieved with the four creative fabrics.

Once you feel ready, we will help you to develop an image of your choice and create a small machine embroidered piece of artwork that incorporates some of the experiment fabrics. This workshop is suitable for complete beginners or anyone wanting to develop their practice.  We usually require you to bring your own sewing machine with the ability to drop the feed dog. However, if you really want to have a go before committing to buying a sewing machine, please get in touch as we can often let you use one of our own. It is also helpful if you can bring some ideas or images that you would like to work with and develop (but not essential, as we have lots of visual stimuli)

Learn how to make a wet felted vessel @ The Artshack
Tickets
Mar 12 @ 10:30 am – 4:30 pm
Learn how to make a wet felted vessel @ The Artshack

In this day long workshop you will design and make a simple 3D vessel using a resist technique and fine merino wool. Wet felting is a process using wool, hot water, soap and repeated agitation to cause the fibres to hook together or weave together into a piece of fabric and you will learn different methods of doing this. Forming this fabric into a vessel can be very creative as felt is a very sculptural and responsive material. If you have particular ideas for design, colour or shape please let us know well before the workshop so that we can discuss.

*Further workshops will introduce more advanced skills in using the book resist technique, and different ways of creating texture and form in your work.

Cost £60 to include all materials plus refreshments
