Join us in April 2024 for our Impressions of Colour and Texture, Free Motion Machine Embroidery retreat with Dionne Swift
Date: 27 – 28 April 2024
Location: The Hog’s Back Hotel & Spa, Farnham, Surrey
Price: £470
Spend two delightful days exploring colour and texture by painting with threads. We will dabble in a little colour theory to create stitched colour wheels. Then, we will take colour mixing inspiration from the Impressionists and sew our own unique piece of artwork, developing a beautifully stitched textured surface. Which you can use as a reference for future projects. At the end of this weekend, you will have learned how to machine embroider with varying weights and colours of threads. Any fears of free motion embroidery will melt away.
You can watch Dionne paint with threads in her episode of The Makers Studio as well as in several Hints & Tips videos on justhands-on.tv
