In this workshop you will be making expressive textile landscapes using hand dyed fabrics, reflecting the summer season.
You will experiment with free motion embroidery to create compositions and add detail to your images.
All materials and equipment will be provided, and you will leave with your own textile landscape that you can continue to complete, or frame at home.
Basic sewing machine knowledge would be useful but no previous experience of free motion embroidery is required.
