Sorry. Untitled as I can't think of a title. I am decidedly under the weather....man flu...I must however muster the motivation to say thank you for your overwhelming response to yesterdays post. I appreciate it more than you could know. I have posted it again under here....the more the merrier or so they say. This morning has been half spent getting video ready for my lace girls, the other half spent feeling sorry for myself. These pictures....pin pillow progress.....tomorrow I hope to have more to say. I'm off to bed.....
Simply Stitch. A gathering of cloth and embroiderers
Commencing Monday June 17 Simply stitch, a gathering of cloth and embroiderers is my latest online learning programme born from a desire to get ''back to basics'', hand stitch at it's purest. This online creative experience will take the form of a very relaxed and gentle gathering of cloth and embroiderers, those who have an affinity with handling cloth, working with cloth. Twice weekly, sometimes more, we will gather together and embroider. I will discuss my plans, my inspiration, the preparation and creation of embroidered cloth. I will demonstrate technique and process throughout. I can guarantee that there will be pockets, pouches, pin pillows and more. I will share thoughts along with the more tangible sources which drive me. I will doodle, you will be encouraged to do the same.
It is my hope that you bring your own work along with you, to share and discuss with the group. We will guide and support each other, sharing tips and process, a gathering of girls for ''online'' afternoon tea.
You are welcome to continue and /or begin your own projects within the forum of this class. You are also welcome to observe and plan work around the pieces I create. If you do not wish to embroider then that is fine too. You can just follow along with us as I record my personal, creative process on a twice weekly basis. You will be given access to me, my day, my embroidery with demonstration, discussion and instruction throughout.
Video will be hosted on a pasword protected blog and there will be a dedicated private flickr group where you can upload images and interact with your peers by means of private discussion.
Upon registration you will be sent a brief e-mail to confirm your seat at the table.
Suitable for beginners and the more experienced.
