Workshops
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, rearranging and sewing down the various
elements until a pleasing composition has been achieved.
Illustrated Talk
Bringing images to show and a good selection of actual pieces of work, Janet
tells of her own experiences, development and influences. Questions
are invited during the illustrated talk on working methods.
Anyone interested in organising a workshop to be given by Janet, please contact her at jv.albolton@ntlworld.com.
