Sensational Shibori 28th March £65 10am - 4pm

Shibori is the ancient Japanese technique of using stitch resist, clamping, pleating and scrunching into white fabric before dyeing it blue to create wonderful patterns.

We will also learn techniques involved clamps and wrapping fabric round bottles to create patterns. Shibori is traditionally navy blue and Angela will give you navy blue procion dye, dye products and full instructions to give you the confidence and knowledge to dye your white fabrics at home. No actual dyeing takes place in this workshop. All the resources are included in the price of this workshop. This workshop is suitable for all levels of ability.

Painted Landscapes £60 April 18th 10-4

You will use kantha stitches and a range of different embroidery stitches to enhance your work. All materials are included in this workshop including fabrics, threads, plant pigments, textile mediums and tiny sequins.
