    *”Hundertwasser Panel”*  –  Annie Nicoll

A beautiful, colourful panel inspired by motifs regularly found in Hundertwasser’s graphic works.  The panel is A4 and features stylized houses and lollipop trees, using brilliant contrasting colour.   The main technique used is appliqué, which is then embellished with machine sewing and embroidery.   The intense effect is achieved by using richly coloured textiles and adding small areas of shiny fabric to the design.

SORRY NO ALTERNATIVE DATE FOR SPRING 2020

    “Kantha meets Boro'”  –  Gilli Theokritoff

A fusion of Asian stitching influences – Kantha is an Indian form of decorative running stitch and Boro’ is Japanese and means rags or scraps.   We will enjoy recycling old bits of lovely fabrics by stitching them through a background to create a new fabric  –  an ideal panel for a bag, wall hanging, framed picture, or piece of clothing.  It is a lovely project to take on holiday for a bit of simple stitching.   I’ll bring a basket of scraps to share along with your own favourite bits and pieces.    Hand stitching, suitable for all abilities.
