During this workshop under the guidance of Claire Humphries, you will create a unique, delicate wall hanging using a whole variety of textile techniques.

Using techniques including trapping threads, gold flacks, paper and feathers you will effectively create your own unique textiles elements which will be used as you collage your wall hanging.

On this workshop you will learn how to:

– Use effect papers
– Use a heat gun to distress papers and fabrics
– Use fabric paints
– Use simple hand stitching techniques
– Consider elements of composition

Please note that there is a £10 materials charge payable on the day for this workshop.

What to expect

Time at ArtisOn is designed to take you away from it all. We provide the environment, the time and the guidance you need to create. You can expect a warm welcome, skilled and friendly tutors and the chance to meet like-minded people keen to share ideas. You can even leave us to clear up the mess! There will usually be two workshops going on and we encourage everyone to mingle and be nosey about what the other workshop is up to.

We encourage you to arrive at 9.30am. This will allow time to meet other participants over a cup of tea or coffee and biscuits before beginning workshops at 10am. There will be a mid-morning break for refreshments and a chance to talk over progress with others. Lunch is usually around 12:45 for about 45 mins – you can expect a delicious homemade 2 course lunch. There will be a further afternoon break with tea or coffee and cake. All food and refreshments are included in the price of your workshop.

The finish time given is a target. There are occasions when the session may overrun so do let us know if you need to be away promptly.

We aim for your day to be a real treat. You could always learn a new skill in a shed or a draughty village hall with a curly sandwich, but we want you to have more fun than that! So we make sure we provide a day where you will be looked after, with good food, good company and great inspiration!

What you’ll need to bring with you

An apron or wear clothes you are happy to paint in

Hand sewing kit including small sharp scissors

Optional items which appeal to you that you wish to include in your hanging.
