Watercolour Pencil & Stitch

Service Description

No painting or drawing skills are required for this, just an ability to colour with pencil and make marks before applying water. If you would like to be more accurate, this is also welcomed. I am really thrilled to be returning to this lovely venue in my home town of Warrington at The Fox Studios, close to town centre. This is a mixed media workshop for which you will receive a beautiful kit to take home with you and to work on in the class. The kit includes a set of watercolour pencils, a printed panel, a set of pure silk perle and stranded threads, written instructions, and tuition throughout the workshop. There is no need for previous experience, we will first colour in the printed panel with the pencils before adding water and watching the magic happen, this is so therapeutic! We will then explore ways of stitching to enhance the panel. The workshop is suitable for beginners and advanced, and you can follow my examples, or go completely off piste with your own creation, this is very much encouraged. There will be a choice of printed designs, all measuring 24 x 24 cm, printed on organic cotton. We will also discuss uses for your panels, and how to take them into a project following this workshop. The embroidered panels can be framed as art, or displayed as a wall hanging, or applied to a number of clothing or accessories. Kit Contents: The materials included for you to embroider in the session, and to take away with you: - Watercolour pencil set. - Printed panel, 24cm x 24cm. - Pure silk stranded cotton and perle embroidery threads - John James embroidery needle. This workshop is taking place at the same time as the Oil Pastel & Stitch workshop, some of the processes are the same. The studio is fully accessible, tea and coffee are available, and there is a cafe just next door. There is ample free car parking on site.
