New Workshop! Textured Embroidery & Abstract Mark Making.

Textured Embroidery & Abstract Mark Making, Saturday 23rd March at Victoria's studio in Woodend Mill One, Mossley, OL5 9AY

Taking inspiration from landscapes and natural themes, we will first explore abstract mark making with beautiful metallic and matte watercolour paints and ink. Previous experience is not needed for this workshop. If you can dip a brush into paint, then that is all that is required, as the marks made will suggest areas for embroidering onto.

Simple stitches will then be employed to highlight areas within the marks, and Victoria will be on hand to help at every step to guide you through this simple process.
