Join experienced textile tutor Anne Ward on this day workshop exploring still life through fabric and stitch.

Bringing nothing more than a supermarket sized bag of small scraps of fabric, threads, trims and buttons/beads, sewers will create a personal creative fabric collage suitable for the front of a special greetings card or as a piece of textile art.

Stitches will be taught and trims used to embellish. This is intended to be a mindful process bringing people into the present moment with a project that is small enough to pick up and work on in a spare 5 minutes when the class is over.

Try not to buy scraps of fabric, beg from friends if you don't sew, the result will be good!

Anne has been making and teaching art and craft to adults for many years. She particularly enjoys teaching textiles art in a bid to keep skills alive but keep them contemporary.

Her degree was in Contemporary Craft specialising in Embroidered Textiles and Ceramics and she also paints in Mixed Media.

Anne loves teaching people at all levels, from complete beginners upwards. She is enthusiastic and patient, and tries to encourage people to engage with their creative side, Anne finds that very satisfying.

Her paintings are mixed media landscapes and as she works in different materials, tries to link they are linked together through subject choice.
