£240Drawing with Stitch: retreat weekend at Kindred House, Margate UK.
Join QEST Scholar and textile artist Lora Avedian in a weekend of playful experimentation with textiles and embroidery, learning how to draw with stitch. The workshop will run from 11am to 4pm on both Saturday April 20 and Sunday April 21.
Participants will create experimental embroidery samples with the aim of developing nature inspired embroidery techniques that can be added to pre-made items or kept as an art work. Throughout the weekend Lora will guide you in how to best translate drawings into stitched lines. Looking at a variety of classic embroidery and embellishment techniques, you will learn how to play with scale and materials to create different quality of line, 3D relief and texture.
(Please note: you can stay at the venue for an extra cost, or you can just do the course if you are local)
