Description
Staffordshire St MAKES | As part of our exhibition A Textile Assembly at Staffordshire St, we invite you to a playful workshop bringing together patchwork and stitch with Craft Show’s founders and curators, Chloe Phelps and Rachael Pilston.This 3-hour workshop will begin by walking around the exhibition with the curators, exploring the textile techniques and gathering inspiration for your own small textile sample.
From there, Rachael will lead a brief introduction to natural colour and patchworking, helping you to come up with your own simple 20cm x 20cm patchwork design. Selecting fabrics from Rachael’s own stash of fabrics naturally dyed with food waste or foraged materials, you’ll learn to hand-stitch each of your patchwork pieces together into your own design.
Chloe will then teach you how to finish the edges using stitch and how to embellish your patchwork with embroidery. Working with a selection of sustainably sourced yarns and threads, and some very special hand-spun yarns too. Finally, we’ll add a small loop to hang your work on the wall.
