Fabric to Frame - Hoop Art

Always themed around the current seasonal flora, this workshop is ideal for both beginners and more confident textile crafters. You'll enjoy learning the  techniques for stencil printing, fabric appliqué and simple embroidery stitching.

 

In a relaxed, guided session - with demonstrations, support, and plenty of practice time, you’ll learn how to successfully stencil onto fabric using my pre-made seasonal flowers or seed heads, cheerful jugs and vintage teacup designs.

 

In the latter part of the workshop, I'll show you a range of easy embroidery stitches to enhance your printed pieces, along with how to split and blend coloured embroidery threads to create beautiful shading effects. You’ll also learn how to mount and present your work in a wooden hoop, ready to hang on the wall or give as a truly unique gift.
 

By the end of the day, you’ll take home a selection of colourful printed samplers, uniquely decorated with your own combination of patterns ready for further embellishment. As well as the confidence and know-how to continue the mindful, creative stitching at home.
 

Fabric blanks and an embroidery hoop are included, and you’ll be able to use my own hand-mixed fabric paints along with embroidery threads to get you started.

Perfect for beginners, no previous experience necessary.

"For someone who is not very confident with stitching I chose to start some embroidery with the help and encouragement from Melanie. I now have a lovely project to go home with, and the knowledge of some simple stitching to complete my wonderful artwork! Thank you Melanie."
