About the Course
On this one-day course, the techniques of layering and stitching fabrics that I have developed will be used to build up a landscape. Learn how to use colour and texture to create depth, using a simple running stitch on either an electric or hand sewing machine.
No specific sewing skills or sophisticated machines are needed for this technique but by incorporating drawing and painting, you will be sure of making original and unique work as well as learning a new approach.
Please bring your own sewing machine if possible as I have only a limited number of hand machines which are lent on a first come, first serve basis. The workshop will be held in a light and spacious village hall, near my studio in North Dorset, which has easy ground floor access and parking. I am a practising artist and a qualified and experienced teacher of art and can run workshops for specific textile or art groups also.
Please contact me for details as these can be organised to fit individual groups.

Imogen was amazing, demonstrating and suggesting techniques to develop my idea for still life all with patience of a saint. Imogen is extremely talented and gifted, but is very supportive to those of us who have limited artistic experience. The day flew by and was immensely satisfying and fun! Thank you for being so kind and supportive it was one of the best days I’ve had this year! Thank you x

I highly recommend this lovely course, it was a really wonderful, inspiring and rejuvenating day. We learnt about creating a unique picture using beautiful materials. Imogen is talented, generous and patient. She is friendly, informal and creative. We feel very lucky to have found her and are looking forward to coming down to Dorset for another workshop with her before very long. Thank you for a lovely, lovely day, Lesley

I loved the textile Landscape course. I learnt a lot of new skills and came away with an abundance of inspiration. Imogen guides you patiently through the techniques but allows you to develop your own style. The whole day was a treat and the lunch was delicious too.

Thouroughly enjoyed this workshop, having learned a plethora of new skills to try at home. So many lovely materials to wade through ! Not to mention the very tasty lunch and cups of tea.
Imogen is a very patient and talented artist who was keen to allow us to make our creations - thank you.

Imogen’s landscape workshop was inspiring. She is patient, generous and there if you need guidance and instruction. If you want to just get on with it, she allows you the space to do just that.

This was a truly inspirational one - day textile landscape course . Having dabbled with various aspects of art and crafts, I was looking for something completely different. This course certainly delivered. Imogen has a wealth of experience and skills which she passes on in a friendly informal way. Definitely the kickstart I needed to reboot my enthusiasm. Thanks Imogen I’ll back soon to do the still- life course.
