Join textile artist Lora Avedian in a weekend of playful experimentation with textiles and embroidery, learning how to draw with stitch. On this exploratory weekend participants will create experimental embroidery samples with the aim of developing nature inspired embroidery techniques that can be added to pre-made items or kept as an art work. Through-out the weekend there will be simple drawing exercises, and Lora will guide you in how to best translate your drawings into stitched lines. Looking at a variety of classic embroidery and embellishment techniques, you will learn how to play with scale and materials to create different quality of line, 3D relief and texture.
