Details for workshop organisers

Making pictures
The main emphasis of the workshop is to encourage students to develop their own ideas – with help readily available. Working directly with the fabric Janet explains and demonstrates the simple sewing techniques required. She will also demonstrate the exciting process of cutting shapes, re-arranging and sewing down the various elements until a pleasing composition has been achieved.
Fee £180.00 plus travel and expenses (10am – 4pm).

Slide lecture
Bringing slides and a good selection of actual pieces of work, Janet tells of her own experiences, development and influences. Questions are invited during the slide show on working methods, particular inspirations, or any topic that may come to mind.
1 hour. Fee £120.00 plus travel and expenses.
