Anne Kelly: Folk Tales workshop

Using folk art motifs as inspiration, the aim is to produce a central image which will then be collaged and added to with lace, ribbon and stitch. Hunt through your collections to find folk art inspired fabrics, old embroidered snippets of tea cloths or handkerchiefs – also any images that inspire you. It’s helpful to think about colours and choose some that you would like to work with on the day. You can use one of Anne’s folk inspired panels to add to your piece. This workshop will include hand and machine stitch.

All materials and equipment are provided but do bring a selection of plain and printed fabrics (small pieces relevant to the theme), plain cotton mix or calico fabric (no larger than A3) and haberdashery such as small buttons, ribbon and lace scraps.

The workshop is 10 - 4pm
