POSTPONED
Kathryn is offering a choice of one of three projects during this workshop. Since the projects all follow a similar process you can decide what you would like to create.
The three projects are: "Cracked and Peeled", "Stitch a Bowl" and "Sew a Postcard" and are detailed below.

Create a textured, cracked and Peeled background from which red & blue-headed birds peer out.
You will build the image up and then add the background. Once the image is completed, you will play with shapes and colours.
The gold encrusted crack splits the aged and frayed background, widening into a hole from which these delightful, pops of colour look out at the world.

Use your domestic sewing machine like a potters wheel and form a bowl or platter shape. Choose an image from several kits available and stitch the picture to your bowl. These can be hung on the wall; they could be framed in a box or set upon a flat surface. You could also stitch a lid for the shape and upon lifting, reveal an artwork.
Sculpting a vessel like a bowl or a platter is a simple process on the sewing machine and is a quirky and different format for any artwork. I have made several vessels using different processes and in this workshop I shall teach you how to make them from ragged cord which you shall stitch on your domestic sewing machine.
The entire vessel is made from fabric and threads using only 3 techniques, namely, ragged cord, fibre embedment using scribble stitch, and free motion machine embroidery.
One of the most delightful aspects of form shaping is that it is ever so slightly unpredictable and very easily manipulated, similar to building a clay pot on the wheel.

The postcard, reminiscent of a bygone age, is a delightful format on which to create an artwork. Choose an image from one of the multiple kits available and stitch your own A4 sized picture. ‘Write’ your message and post it to a friend, frame it, or make another.
