The exhibition is mainly at StudionAme in Leicester although my work may be in another venue.

Textile Traces online workshop
In this workshop we will begin with thinking about the importance of the stories embedded within the textiles and what we most want to capture with our work. We’ll learn processes that don’t harm the textiles like taking rubbings, making line drawings , use a variety of materials for tracing details, cut work, Cyanotype and use a light box to capture details with photography. I’ll also share digital techniques and image manipulation.
Saturday 16th September 2-5pm BST
The online workshop is £35 and you can book it here.

Textile Study Space is an online home for all the masses of textile techniques, making and study of historical textiles that I have amassed over the last two decades. I share posts about my work and how I’ve made it, techniques and ideas of how to use them in your own creative work, about materials and about the historical textiles that inspire and fascinate me. The Textile Study Space is like being in my studio and having the chance to look around at the boxes of samples and projects, textile collections and my work-in-progress. You’ll find stitch and quilting, historic embroidery, printing and appliqué and masses more. It’s just £5 a month to join.
