Silk and lace —  a contemporary approach.

Two materials that I use a lot in my work and in many different ways. We will look firstly at the ways in which silk fibres can be used in paper, “felt”, embellishing and with water soluble fabrics. Experiments with lace on water soluble, with paint and collagraphy will follow on. Using the two materials together to make a textile surface will be the culmination of the experiments. You are encouraged to bring your own old laces if you have some. Intermediate and advanced

Windows and Doors.

An exploration with paint, stitch, papers and fabric, looking at this popular theme and ways to interpret it. Working from photographs taken from a marvelous collection of windows and doors from a walk around Luçon on our first morning, we will work from the photographs with sampling. By the end of the week you will have produced an original embroidery  based on a local door or window using techniques with fibres and silk paper, or lutradur and heating techniques with  hand or machine stitching. A good course for beginners (or beginners in design) who would like to branch out.
