Textile Memory Book 5 Weeks

About

"Tell your story in Creative Textiles!

Everyone has a story. We are all part of life's rich tapestry... Each of us

experiences at least one or two of life's big shifts at some point. The happy

Ones: falling in love, getting married, starting a family, or becoming a

grandparent, for example. And the sad or challenging ones like divorce

Bereavement, or children leaving the nest.

This series of five weekly workshops will translate these stories into a textile book a

unique piece of narrative artwork. At the start of the course you will be introduced to a

Selection of book formats before choosing the one that suits your creative process and

Project.

The process of stitching by hand slows our breathing and provides an oasis

of calm in our busy lives. A special kind of conversation happens when

People come together to sew.

You’ll be encouraged to discover and reflect on aspects of yourself and your

Experiences, and to bring along personal scraps of fabric and your own

pictures from home, which will be printed onto cloth for you. You can

Embroider into these as well to personalise your creation even more, adding

buttons, lace, or words if you like, to tell your tale, As the course progresses

You will work through the process of balancing these into a cohesive piece

Of work, learning textile skills along the way and creating a richly worked object full of

Charm, made entirely by hand.
