Learn how to carve a lino cut before printing it onto fabric, and then plan your stitch project.

To book your place, follow the link below.

No drawing skills are required, as we can trace our designs. Alternatively, it is possible to draw straight onto the plate and this is very much encouraged.

Full step by step tuition is provided in this workshop where we will first transfer out design onto the easy cut plate, and then preparing the plate with inks that are purposely for fabric, before printing onto a range of fabrics. Following the printing, we will then make a stitch plan to further enhance your work, and you can choose from my range of threads. The methods selected will be tailored to your prints, and guidance will be given as to how to enhance your work, or you have free rein to be as creative as you like.

We will also discuss uses for your panels, and how to take them into a project following this workshop. This project involves a few simple stitches, and I will guide you through the steps. It is also suitable for advanced stitchers as it is possible to be creative with the printing and embroidery.

The embroidered panel could be appliqued to clothing or accessories, as the ink will be permanent and washable. Or, it be framed as art, or as a wall hanging, or applied to a number of objects and you will receive sufficient materials to continue to stitch your pieces at home if you wish.

Kit Contents: The materials included for you to embroider in the session, and to take away with you:

- A variety of fabric panels.

The plate can also be used to print on paper, if you would like to do some paper prints which are excellent for use in journal making, please bring some paper with you. All other materials that you will need will be for use within the studio, and you will have your kit to take home to finish the project.
