Sketchbook to Stitch Textiles & Mixed Media Day
This workshop is all about exploring and experimenting with colour, pattern and texture. Embroidery artist Jessica Grady* will begin the workshop by showing you various ways to add colour and pattern to paper through mixed media approaches using paint, collage and different resists such as bleach, tape and masking fluid. You will build up a selection of sketchbook pages with different patterns and designs which will inspire your textile art later in the workshop. After a lunch break you will use your textured sketchbook papers to act as an inspiration (or even materials!) towards a 3D stitched and embellished piece of textile art.
As well as traditional fabrics and threads, Jessica will demonstrate how you can use unusual materials such as washers and waste plastics to create your own colourful embellishments, sequins and beads, and also for adding texture and patterns to your sketchbook papers! You will leave the class with a sketchbook bundle of mark-making ideas and a developed stitched fabric sample.
Skill Level: suitable for beginners as well as more experienced stitchers.
