Emily Notman - Textile Surfaces, Exploring Delicate Stitched Layers and Textures (Week 2 of 2)
This workshop is designed to encourage exploration and creativity, with less focus on a finished product and more emphasis on the process of 'freeing up and exploring'. It’s an opportunity to push the boundaries of soft materials and techniques, allowing you to experiment and discover new ways to build up layers with both paint and stitch.
Begin with working with delicate fabrics, where you will explore building texture and create exciting, tactile backgrounds.
These subtle, stitched backgrounds will then serve as a base for applying print and colour, allowing you to play with different hues and marks to develop a unique set of surfaces.Once your backgrounds are established, you’ll explore decorative embellishment, adding layers of depth with contrasting tactile stitch.
Throughout the two weeks, the focus will be on experimentation and freeing up your approach to embroidery, backgrounds and fabrics. By the end of the two sessions, you’ll have a selection of exciting, textured samples that can be mounted or framed. A perfect way to bring fresh ideas and techniques into your own creative practice.
No experience is needed.
