The art of decorative design
This is a 2 part workshop run by Angela Oswald, an experienced textile tutor and member of Textile Explorers.
“There are many ways of decorating a piece of fabric to develop a pictorial piece of art. We will be looking at a combination of drawing, painting, collage and stitch to make a unique textile art piece.
To achieve this I would like us to use nature as an inspiration. Think of a tree branch then add leaves, fruits and flowers. This can be based on something in real nature or totally imagined. The workshop is about having fun with colour and stitch.”
Stitching – we will be using free machine embroidery alongside hand stitching.
Day one will be working on the design, painting and collaging to be ready for stitch. We will also experiment with some free machine embroidery ideas.
Day two we will be fully immersed in free machine embroidery, hand stitch and adding embellishments.
