SUMMARY:Bernice Hopper - ZOOM Workshop - Hanging Books (2 Parts)
DESCRIPTION:This workshop\, postponed from the spring\, will now run over 2 TUESDAY EVENINGS in February 3rd and February 10th from 7pm to 9.30pm and introduces hanging books. \nFull instructions are given for assembling the book with students assembling their books. The remaining time will be spent hand stitching. The book is unlikely to be finished in the day depending on how much stitching students wish to do on their books. \nIntroduction and supply list \nThis is a process workshop.  A Hanging Book can be displayed on a wall or can be folded up to make a book.  The finished book will be double-sided. \nIn the first part of the workshop I will show you different ways you might decorate the pages of your book.  We can look at how each individual is going to sew their book   In the second part I will show you how to put a hanging book together.  Everything will be hand stitched. \nEveryone will learn the same process but each person’s book will be different\, based on their colour and fabric choice.  However I will show you different ways to finish a book which you can use if you decide to make more books. \nPlease be aware that you may not completely finish the book during the sessions – much will depend on how much decorative stitching you want to do and how much time you have between the two parts of the workshop. \nFabric choice \nI suggest you use a limited colour palette and choose fabrics that co-ordinate.  You can use bought cotton fabric or use cotton fabric you have dyed and printed.  The fabric shouldn’t be too highly patterned.  Alternatively you could use plain dyed fabric and print an image on it.  I will demonstrate how suitable stamps\, stencils and Thermofax screens could be used. \nRequirements: \nPlease have available \nFabrics as listed (list to be issued nearer the time) \nRuler \nFabric scissors \nPins\, Sewing kit \nCotton for tacking – Use a colour that isn’t in your fabric to make it easier to see to remove \nEmbroidery threads \nCamera \nPen\, pencil\, notebook \nAbout Bernice \nBernice trained as a primary school teacher and later became a church administrator.  She now concentrates on all things creative including facilitating a course on Creativity.\nAfter successfully completing City & Guilds Creative Embroidery\, she continued to work with textiles until Art Journaling and Mixed Media called. \nBernice particularly enjoys making books both in card and fabric and has taught online workshops on altered books and themed books via recorded videos.  She also works with textiles\, often involving the themes of canals or Venice.  More recent work has become more personal. \n\nBooking Terms and Conditions:\nThe fee is non-refundable if you cancel (unless another person can take your place.)\nWe occasionally have a waiting list for a workshop and if that is the case your place would be offered to the next person on the list. If there isn’t a waiting list then you might know someone who could take your place. \nWith this in mind\, please let Bookings know as soon as possible if you are unable to attend.\nBookings queries please email bookings@texgroup.org.uk
