Explore and experiment with mono printing and hand stitching to create your own self portrait. This workshop provides the opportunity to combine 2 different mediums to create a unique mixed media piece that is totally unique and reflective of you.

Under the tutelage of textile artist Hannah Turrington, you will create mono print self portraits then combine them with fabric and hand stitch to create the features of the face. Hannah will take you through, step-by-step the process of mono printing and different types of stitch to create different effects. Using Swedish tracing paper and fabric you will then work on your final piece.

This is the perfect workshop to experiment with different processes and connect with your creativity. You will leave with test pieces and a self portrait – or a portrait of someone who is important to you.

Please note there is a £10 material charge payable on the day.

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

Please bring a mirror, an A5/A4 photograph of a person's face, an apron and any of your favourite embroidery threads that you might like to use – all other materials are provided.
