I am teaching the following workshops at London and Harrogate this autumn – workshops have just opened for bookings. 


*  Harrogate — Thursday 22nd November  *

Trapunto or Italian quilting is a fast, fun technique for creating raised texture on fabric. Unlike traditional quilting, in trapunto the stuffing is added between two stitched layers of fabric just in the areas required. Trapunto can be worked by hand or machine, but in this class we will use simple hand-stitching techniques to create a small sampler. This workshop is suitable for all levels of stitchers and is an introduction trapunto for those who have never done it before. 

*  Harrogate — Friday 23rd November  *

This workshop teaches you how to make a dome-shaped folded felt brooch, with layers & ripples. You will also find out how to make a square variation of the brooch, as well as professional finishing techniques for the back of your brooches. We will also cover tips & tricks for working with felt and how to source different types of felt including wool and recycled wool. The techniques are simple and fast and only require hand sewing.
