Explore the possibilities of 'painting' with fabric and stitch, using a range of materials and found objects.

Have you ever wanted to tackle a historically themed textiles project where you can explore the possibilities of painting with fabric and stitch, using a range of materials and objects, elevating your work to something more unique, three dimensional and personal? A project that requires no previous creative of stitching experience?

This may be the workshop for you.

You will take a bag of recycled, eco and rust-dyed fabrics, stencils, rusted metal items, black thorn twigs, plus other found objects, and turn them into a meaningful hanging celebrating the history of our wise female forebears. ?The Cunning Folk.

But, this is not about sorcery or magic – it’s about wisdom.

You will learn about the historical suspicion and persecution of capable, shrewd women. You will stitch freely, or watch my demonstrations to inspire your work, relax, de-stress, share stories about the importance and plight of women in the past – but with laughter and cake!
