The
Advanced Machine Embroiderer's Workshop and embellisher
Free
motion machine embroidery is no longer a technical problem for
you, or at least mostly. But you don't always find it easy to know
how to use it. What stitches to use, how much, how little. How do
you successfully incorporate and integrate different surfaces with
your stitching. How to include hand stitching. This course follows
a series of exercises put together by Val to understand and
develop your machine embroidery as a surface decoration or as a
creation of surfaces. A useful and exciting course.
Dates:
24th - 30th October 2010.
price:
780€ full board in own room, 730€ if sharing with a
friend or partner. 330€ non-embroiderer sharing room. Self-catering
on application.
Times:
Sunday afternoon/early evening arrival for evening meal, Monday
morning start. Course from 9.30 to 5.00 every day. Wednesday
afternoon free if desired. Saturday morning departure after
breakfast. The studio may be open all hours for students wishing
to work longer hours.

Photography
and Design for Experimental surfaces. With
local sculpted Romanesque churches, cloisters and interiors and
other architectural bits and pieces as a
source of inspiration, we'll come to terms with ways of using
photography as a starting point for developing textile ideas and
design sheets. A first morning visiting the local cathedral and
cloisters and other interesting buildings, we then download your photographs and work with the computer to
understand simply how to improve them or how to find inspiration in them by
using photoshop techniques. Then we continue exploring
paperwork and creating design sheets to lead to a selection of
textile and embroidery techniques, materials and surfaces. A full
and imaginative course for the embroiderer with some experience,
but perhaps in need of a hand with design. Included in the course for those who are interested is a chance to
work with digital photography, computer adjusted images, designing
for a computerised embroidery machine from the photographic images
and working the embroidery. You will also get the chance to work
with silk waste, metal techniques, Angelina and other techniques
relevant to your design sheet. price:
780€ full board in own room, 730€ if sharing with a
friend or partner. 330€ non-embroiderer sharing room. Self-catering
on application. All materials included. Dates: 4th
