Date: Thursday, 31st July

 

Tutor: Amanda Hislop has a degree in woven textiles with painting. An established tutor with more than 30 years’ experience, delivering relaxed creative workshops. Her book “Stitched Textiles: Seascapes” published by Search Press details her working practice and deep love of the sea.

 

Description: A taster day working intuitively with painted cloth and a selection of materials provided to make a small painted and hand stitched piece reflecting the colours of the sea and shore. Explore colour with assembled cloth, paper, and thread fragments; create a shoreline view suggesting land sea and sky or explore an abstract assemblage of the materials supplied to work with line and texture with simple hand stitching. 

 

Suitable for those who enjoy the challenge of intuitive experimentation, exploration and extension of creative boundaries who have an open mind and a desire to explore. Amanda will guide you through intuitive development of your work with the support of inspirational resources in the form of personal sketchbooks and examples of her work.
