Description
Join experienced textile tutor Kathleen Murphy on this two-day workshop exploring still life through fabric and stitch. Studying a still life composition can improve skills in observation and the treatment of pattern, colour and creative spatial awareness. In a twist to the usual approach of using paint or pencil this workshop will explore ways in which to translate the associated shapes, shadows and textures of a still life tableaux of fruit and vegetables, using fabric manipulation techniques, thread and hand stitch to produce a collection of experimental textile pieces. The workshop aims to enhance students skills in observation and translating what they see beyond paper and paint alone. To encourage students to see further possibilities in the use of fabric and stitch as part of their creative armoury. This is a 2 day course on Monday 29th & Tuesday 30th July 2024. You are welcome to bring a lidded bottle of water with you but we kindly ask that you do not bring food into the studio. Refreshments are available at our on-site café Blend Although this course is suitable for those with a little previous hand sewing experience it may also be of interest to those from other craft disciplines who would like to try something new.
