Textured Textiles workshop Saltburn by the Sea

In this creative full day workshop you’ll explore different hand embroidery stitches and techniques to add texture in to textiles including creating and removing layers, using unusual materials, combining materials, using stitch to create perceived texture, using sandpaper and much more. You'll receive a beautifully curated gift box with this workshop.

The morning is dedicated to experimenting with a range of techniques creating a mini series of samples to inspire future work. The afternoon is spent putting these new found skills into place and creating a piece of textile art, full of stitch and texture that is unique to you. I'll be there every step of the way to teach and guide you to make a piece of stunning art.

By the end of the workshop you will have learnt many ways to add texture to textiles, have a series of mini samples and a piece of beautiful, unique artwork.

The workshop is suitable for people of all levels of embroidery experience from the complete beginner to the more accomplished embroiderer.

All materials are provided, along with drinks. Lunch isn't provided This workshop also includes a beautifully curated gift set consisting of a selection of fabrics, materials and threads to ensure you can continue creating after the workshop, artist greetings cards and an exclusive needleminder. The colours and designs of the contents will be different in each box.

All of my workshops are designed to teach new skills as well as to develop creative confidence. They are welcoming to everyone, with a relaxed, informative and inspiring atmosphere. I have a flexible approach to teaching, allowing participants to follow their own interests and develop work that they can be proud of. I work with each person individually to ensure that they are developing the skills needed to realise their project – and if you have no idea what you want to do I’ll help with that too!

I believe that art is all about expressing yourself and this is what I encourage you to do. I’ll have lots of samples to inspire you, but always support you to make your own work – after all who needs several pieces of art that are all exactly the same! I’ve taught workshops in this way for many years and people always surprise themselves with what they achieve.

The workshop will be held at the ECHO Hall (Emmanuel Church) Saltburn by the Sea from 10.30-3.30.
