Making cloth art and using favourite cotton or wool threads and yarns, often from her stash of weaving project yarns or handspun wool by local friends, Beth begins the design play with a few favourite, easy-to-learn stitch patterns: french knots, lines, and crosses, circles created with blanket stitch and often, just running stitch!
In this workshop, students will receive a rectangular piece of either black or white wool cloth and have a chance to try a few basic stitch repeated patterns on their cloth that will begin a journey to filling their cloth with their own pattern designs. (See my black and white stitched piece below)
A comprehensive handout will be included in the workshop, and with two evenings in a row to learn, practice and enjoy creating... students will go home with a piece that can be extended into days or weeks of work at home following the workshop as they continue in their own design play. Once finished, the work can be stretched over a canvas or laid into a frame for display.
IMPORTANT: Students will enjoy TWO EVENINGS, and the two consecutive evening WOOL ART CLASS sessions for registered students are booked with the first evening session, Part One starting at 5 pm, and running to 9 pm on March 28 th, and Part Two, second evening same hours on March 29th, 2023
Hoping you will join in on the fun. Drop by Studio 214D at the Tett Centre if you have questions.
** Samples of using hand stitches on wool bases are below... students will work on an Instructor -supplied black or white wool cloth in this workshop, using threads they bring to share. Feel free to bring your own cloth to stitch.!
My favourite project last winter, and now sharing a home with a couple in Georgian Bay, this piece is black Dorr Wool with a centre circle of blanket stitch, french knots and some cross marks, and then the fun begins as the rest of the cloth is filed with hand stitches in random placement. Good fun and EVERYONE can do this!!
