Tate Modern
Research trip with my Fine Art student - Sigmar Polk & Richard Tuttle.
A group of very talented embroidery ladies wanted to produce a collection of background images for their work. The group meet once a month stitching away creating unusual and quirky textile pieces. They have an exhibition coming up, I will let you know when and update you on the screen printing pieces which they have embellished..... Thank you for the lunch Jill and home made biscuits!
Thank you Rose Theatre for providing all the materials for this particular workshop, it was very nice turning up without lots of bags! We had a lovely and very busy morning making crowns and shields.
Exhibition at the Barbican Centre
I spent the day screen printing with six groups, each group tried a range of activities from 'The Leap of Faith' to 'Weaving'. The aim was to bring people together from different backgrounds and to enjoy each others company. The day was a success, making new friends and learning new skills.... well done everyone! Thank you Hampshire County Council for inviting me down for the day.
Every month I will be running workshops at the lovely converted barn in Ruislip.
I spent the day mono printing at a summer camp in Guilford. Thank you FISH for inviting me!
Making flags and embellishing with creative stitch.
Over August and September I will be running workshops every Monday at Clandon House. I will be teaching you how to Finger Knitting, Screen Print, make giant Pom Poms, Flag Making & Bunting.
